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. Streif gently folds back
the gum and removes the disease-causing bacteria and
infection.
|
|
|
|
Dr. Streif 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.
