Let’s target the infection directly to heal your gums and protect your smile.

What is Localized Antibiotic Therapy?

Localized antibiotic therapy is a targeted treatment that delivers medication right into gum pockets after deep cleaning. This approach kills bacteria where they hide, reduces pocket depth and helps control periodontal disease while minimizing discomfort.

How Localized Antibiotic Therapy Works

After your scaling and root planing treatment we place a small amount of antibiotic gel deep into the infected gum pockets. This medication slowly releases over several days killing bacteria and allowing your gums to heal naturally and securely.

Who Should Consider Localized Antibiotic Therapy?

This treatment is best for patients with mild to moderate gum disease or stubborn pockets that do not improve with cleaning alone. If you’ve been told you have deep gum pockets localized antibiotic therapy might be a smart next step. Talk to a pro at FLOSS Dental to see if it’s right for you.
