![]() Why Might You Need Pocket Reduction Surgery?There are several reasons in which your dentist might recommend pocket reduction surgery:
What Happens during Pocket Reduction Surgery?During pocket reduction surgery, the gums will be pulled back gently from the teeth so that bacteria and tartar can be eliminated. Scaling will be used to completely remove tartar from the tooth root, and planing will be used to ensure that after the gums heal, they’ll be able to reattach to the root surface. The gums will be sutured, and the stitches will remain in place for a week or two. While you may experience some sensitivity immediately following the procedure, the end result should be a significant improvement in the health of your gums and teeth.
