How North Haven Dentists Helps Combat Gum Disease
Gum disease, also known as periodontitis, occurs when bacteria build up around and beneath your gums, causing inflammation and tissue damage. At North Haven Dentists, we take a step-by-step approach to treat gum disease effectively and protect your oral health.
The Problem:
- Plaque has hardened into tartar (calculus) below the gumline, irritating your gums and spreading infection.
- Routine cleanings cannot reach these deeper deposits, which continue to cause inflammation.
The Solution:
- Scaling: Removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline.
- Root Planing: Smoothing tooth roots to help gums reattach and prevent bacteria from returning.
- Arestin Therapy: Applying antibiotics directly into gum pockets to eliminate bacteria.
These treatments encourage your gums to heal, restore healthy tissue, and reduce inflammation. For severe cases, additional follow-up care may be required to monitor healing and maintain results.

Understanding Arestin Therapy
Arestin is a powerful, localized antibiotic treatment designed to fight bacteria in gum pockets. This medication is delivered via microspheres that release antibiotics gradually, ensuring long-term treatment effectiveness.
When is Arestin Used?
- After scaling and root planing procedures to treat periodontitis.
- For patients with gum pockets that are breeding grounds for bacteria.
- To promote better healing by reducing inflammation and infection.

Scaling and Root Planing: A Deep Cleaning Solution
Scaling and root planing is a two-step procedure designed to treat periodontitis and prevent further damage to your gums and teeth.
Step 1: Scaling
Dr. Aruri carefully removes plaque and tartar buildup from above and below the gumline. The focus is on cleaning down to the bottom of gum pockets to eliminate bacteria.
Step 2: Root Planing
Next, Dr. Aruri smooths out rough surfaces on the tooth roots, helping your gums reattach to the teeth. This process reduces the risk of bacteria re-adhering under the gumline.
In most cases, this treatment results in noticeable improvements, such as:
- Gums turning pink and healthy.
- Reduced swelling and bleeding.
- Improved overall oral health.
