Gum disease affects oral health in many ways, and this includes the development of a perio pocket.
A perio pocket or periodontal pocket describes a detachment of gingival
fibers from the tooth, creating a deep gap which may contribute to
infection and abscess, and further advancement of periodontal disease.
If left untreated, a perio pocket can result in tooth loss.
It’s very important to get a perio pocket properly diagnosed and
treated. Treatment consists of reducing the depth of the perio pocket
through removal of bacteria by deep cleaning and/or osseous surgery.
