Normal,
healthy gums have small pockets around each tooth. The bacteria and
infection associated with periodontitis causes these pockets to become
deeper, trapping more bacteria and causing more infection. When the pockets
become too deep for scaling and root planing,
a Pocket Depth Reduction procedure is often a solution.
During a Pocket Depth Reduction procedure, Dr. Reese gently folds back the gum and removes the disease-causing bacteria and infection.
Dr. Reese will then smooth the root surfaces and, if necessary, reshape the gum and bone.
This will allow the gums to form smaller, healthier pockets.
