Antibiotic therapy is often used as a supportive treatment for gum disease, especially when bacteria persist below the gumline after deep cleaning procedures. By targeting harmful bacteria directly, antibiotics help reduce infection, inflammation, and the risk of further gum and bone damage.
At Palmetto Dental Studio, antibiotic therapy may be applied locally to the gums or prescribed orally, depending on your specific condition. This treatment is commonly used alongside scaling and root planing to enhance results and promote healing. Our team carefully evaluates each patient to ensure antibiotics are used safely and effectively as part of a personalized periodontal care plan.
Antibiotic therapy plays an important role in controlling infection and supporting healthier gums over time.
