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.

Ant

All of the staff are super friendly. The bill was explained , and broken down before the work was done. Honestly best experience at a dentist (which sounds strange) but would definitely recommend. I drive 45 mins to get dental work done. That should say something.

Angela

If you’re looking for a dentist practice that cares about your teeth and treats you like family, well this is the place for you! I’ve been to many other practices and they just don’t compare. Dr. Aruri really cares about his patients and listens to any problems you might have. Overall I strongly recommend this practice!

Clinton

There's a reason they have a near 5 star rating. Dr. Aruri and his staff make for an amazing experience- and this is coming from someone who has been terrified of the dentist her whole life. I highly recommend them to everyone I know. They worked with my financial situation and helped me break up my treatment into amounts that worked for me. They are dedicated to providing a welcoming, efficient and pleasant visit. Highly recommend!
