A popular periodontal surgery called pocket reduction surgery has been shown to be successful in removing germs, lowering swelling, and preserving teeth. Surgery for pocket reduction aims to:

• Prevent the spread of germs – A number of other dangerous illnesses, including diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, have been linked to oral bacteria. Through the circulation, oral bacteria can disperse to different areas of the body where they can colonize. To lower the risk of secondary infection, it is crucial to minimize oral bacterial growth.

• Stopping bone loss – The body breaks down bone tissue as a result of the persistent inflammatory response caused by oral bacteria. Periodontal diseases weakens the jawbone, which causes the teeth to lose their solid base. The teeth may need to be extracted if they become too loose.

• Facilitate home care – The patient will find it extremely challenging to clean the gum pockets as they get deeper with time. The risk of developing more periodontal infections rises because the toothbrush and dental floss cannot get to the bottom of the pockets.

• Enhancing the smile – A mouth that has periodontal disease is not visually appealing. In reality, discolored gums, decayed teeth, and ridge indentations can ruin all smiles. Surgery for pocket reduction slows the spread of gum disease and enhances the appearance of the smile.
