What is Pocket Reduction Surgery?

When our dentist performs a pocket reduction, they will start by cleaning the area to make sure it is free of plaque and bacteria. Once this is complete, they will suture the gum tissue to your teeth so that the size of the pocket is reduced. This will minimize their appearance, as well as make it much easier for you to keep them clean at home. After you have recovered from the procedure, you simply need to be mindful about brushing along your gum line and flossing consistently. This will prevent bacteria from gathering in the pockets again and will help maintain the look of your smile.
