Arestin: Fighting infection where it starts
You may have heard of gum disease, "periodontitis," or "periodontal disease," but do you know the difference between a disease, infection or other type of complication that can affect your mouth, such as gingivitis?
Do you know why it's so important to treat periodontal disease- and why brushing and flossing alone won't do the trick?
Most importantly, did you know that periodontal disease is the #1 cause of tooth loss among American adults? Or that, although a causal relationship between periodontal disease and an elevated risk for systemic events has not yet been proven, recent data suggest a possible link between periodontal disease and other health issues including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and preterm low birth-weight babies.
Fight infection right where it starts
