Periodontal pocket reduction is a treatment used to manage gum disease when deep pockets develop around the teeth. These spaces can trap bacteria and become difficult to clean, increasing the risk of further gum and bone damage.
The procedure involves accessing and cleaning the affected areas beneath the gums, then reducing the depth of the pockets to make them easier to maintain. It may be recommended when non-surgical treatments have not adequately addressed the problem.
