About this video

Healthy gum tissue fits around each tooth snugly, providing protection from harmful bacteria and infection. When you have gum disease, small pockets form around the teeth that allow bacteria, plaque and other debris to get deep inside. This makes it incredibly difficult to keep these pockets clean, which further affects the area. Pocket reduction involves reducing the size of these pockets, making at-home and professional periodontal care more effective.
