Brand Names : Actisite

Proper Use of This Medicine

When tetracycline periodontal fibers are in place in your mouth, try to avoid any actions that may knock the fibers loose . For example:

• Do not chew hard, crusty, or sticky foods, or chewing gum.
• Do not brush or floss near any treated areas, but continue to clean the other teeth.
• Do not use a dental spray device (e.g., Water-Pik).
• Do not probe or pick at the fibers with your tongue, toothpicks, or fingers.

Dosing - The amount of tetracycline periodontal fibers that will be put in your gums will be determined by your dentist. The number of teeth that need treatment and the depth of the pockets in your gums will determine the amount of fiber that is used.
