Arestin

Fighting the advanced form of gum disease, called periodontal disease, can be difficult when patients have a lot of bacteria lying underneath their gums. This bacteria builds and can infect the sensitive gum tissue.
 
A common procedure performed here at the New York Dental Studio for this plaque beneath the gumline is root scaling and planing, but the infection may return without antibiotics. That is why we use Arestin, a strong type of antibiotic that battles infection in the pockets of the gums.
 
The basic procedure for Arestin is as follows:
1. Root scaling and planing is performed first, which removes bacteria and plaque from below the gumline.
2. The Arestin antibiotic is then applied into the pockets of the gums where they are infected.
3.Arestin starts working quickly and continues fighting off infection for the next 30 days.
 
Arestin comes in a powder form, making it easy for our dentist Dr. Brandon Huang to apply it to the pockets of the gums after completing root scaling and planing. It keeps the infection from spreading and prevents it from coming back.
 
To learn more about the benefits of periodontal treatment with Arestin, call our East 50th Street New York, NY office at (212) 588-1809.

Dental Hygiene

Dental Hygiene
Proper dental hygiene is very important to us here at New York Dental Studio, which is why we encourage all of our patients to pay close attention to their oral health. Oral hygiene not only affects dental health, but the patient’s overall health as well.
 
With regular home care, our patients can have teeth that are free of debris and bacteria, better smelling breath, and healthier teeth overall. It helps them battle gum disease, infection, and prevents possible procedures as a result of tooth decay.
 
We recommend the following practices for dental hygiene and periodontal health:
  • Brush their teeth twice a day, for at least two minutes each time.
  • Floss their teeth at least once a day.
  • Use toothpaste and mouthwash that contains fluoride.
  • Eat a healthy diet with minimal snacks and sugar-filled choices.
  • Drink plenty of water and decreasing soda, coffee and wine.
  • Visit us twice a year for a check-up and professional cleaning
With these simple daily practices, patients stand to have a healthier mouth and better overall health. They are taking good care of their teeth in between visits, and seeing us regularly to assess the health of their mouth and provide more education for good dental hygiene. Visit Dr. Brandon Huang in New York, NY to keep your oral health in tip-top shape.
