Antibiotic Therapy

Dr. Jon Glenn offers antibiotic therapy to help fight periodontal disease and begin the process of restoring your oral health. Antibiotic gum treatments may be used as stand-alone treatments or in combination with other periodontal treatments based on your individual needs. If our dentist and team determine that antibiotic therapy is the right option for you, we will most likely provide you with a scaling and root planing first to clear away plaque and tartar from your mouth. If your case is more severe, we may recommend a periodontal surgery first. The antibiotic medications will then be placed directly into the infected periodontal pockets of your mouth where they will work to eliminate harmful bacteria.

Antibiotics used in fighting periodontal disease usually contain doxycycline, minocycline, tetracycline, amoxicillin, macrolide or metronidazole. Common antibiotics used in gum disease treatment include ARESTIN®, PerioChip®, ATRIDOX®, Actisite® and Elyzol®. When you receive an antibiotic gum treatment, please make sure to follow all instructions provided by our dentist after leaving our office. Following the recommended post-treatment care instructions and maintaining a thorough home care routine will maximize the effectiveness of your treatment and aid in the healing process.

Patient Reviews

Our whole family has been going to Dr. Glenn for 20 years, three generations in fact. Dr. Glenn does excellent work and offers solid recommendations if needed. Everyone in the office is nice, professional and personable. I wouldn't trust anyone else, he's certainly worth the drive from south OC.

I am very anxious about going to the dentist. I was in soooo much pain and was give a great referral for Dr. Glenn. I was super lucky when I called they had a cancellation...he was so gentle and informative about what could be wrong. I feel like I have found my forever dentist.

Dr Glenn is a very comprehensive and caring dentist and the best one I have every been to. I would highly recommend him as he provides honest recommendations and would never recommend a treatment that wasn’t absolutely necessary. So glad I finally found a good one!

Honestly the very best dental care I have had. Dr. Glenn is very professional and takes his work seriously, while still managing to be very personable. His dental hygienists are great and office staff is friendly, polite, and accommodating. I am so glad to have him as my dentist.
