What Is Pocket Reduction?
Pocket reduction surgery is a periodontal procedure designed to treat deep gum pockets that form along the gumline, which can be challenging to clean effectively at home. During the procedure, the gum tissue is carefully lifted away from the teeth to allow thorough cleaning of the pockets. The gum tissue is then repositioned to reduce the pocket depth, helping to minimize bacterial growth and make oral hygiene easier. This treatment is vital for maintaining healthy gums and preventing further periodontal complications.
