Periostat

We have known for a long time that bacterial colonies in plaque are the major cause of periodontal disease. However, we have now discovered that we can suppress the enzymes that are released by the body during periodontal disease with the antibiotic doxycycline. This, along with scaling and root planing, allows the gums to heal better. And because the dosage is so low, it will not cause any resistant strains of bacteria.
