Dr. Moon's instructions for the first week after Arestin is placed.

After your Arestin application

  • Avoid hard, crunchy, sticky foods in treated areas for 1 week.
  • Postpone the use of interproximal cleaning devices (i.e., floss, waterpik, plaquers, toothpicks, etc.) around the treated sites for 10 days after administration of Arestin.
  • Moderate sensitivity is expected during the first week. Notify the dentist if swelling, itching, rash, papules, reddening, difficulty breathing, or severe pain occur.

This is general guidance. If Dr. Moon gave you different instructions, follow those.
