Normal healthy gums have small sulcus
around each tooth. The bacteria and infection cause
sulcus to become deep and referred to as periodontal
pocket. 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. Braverman
gently folds back the gum and removes the disease-causing
bacteria and infection.
|
|
|
|
Dr. Braverman
will then smooth the root surfaces and, if necessary,
reshape the gum and bone.
|
This will allow the gums to heal and have healthy
sulcus.
