What Is Localized Antibiotic Therapy?

This minimally invasive treatment applies antibiotics directly into gum pockets after deep cleaning to kill bacteria and reduce pocket depth. It’s fast, effective, and helps stabilize periodontal disease.

Benefits:

  • Kills harmful bacteria directly at the site.
  • Minimally invasive and pain-free.
  • Helps reduce gum pocket depth.
  • Complements deep cleaning for faster results.

Fast, Focused, and Proven to Work.

How It Works

After scaling and root planing, we place small amounts of antibiotic gel into the infected areas. The medication continues to work over several days—killing bacteria and giving your gums time to heal naturally.

If You’ve Been Told You Have Deep Pockets, This Could Help.

Is It Right for You?

Localized antibiotics are ideal for patients with mild to moderate gum disease or stubborn pockets that don’t respond to cleaning alone. Ask your FLOSS provider if this is right for you.
