When will I begin to see improvements in the health of my gums when taking Periostat®?
In the Periostat® studies, significant improvements in gum pocket depths and reduced gum bleeding (when the gums were examined with a probe, a dental instrument) were observed after 3 months of Periostat® treatment. Keep in mind that Periostat® treatment allows the body to begin the healing process, so it takes time for the changes in your damaged gum and bone tissue to become apparent.
