POCKET REDUCTION SURGERY

WE’LL REMOVE THE BACTERIA FILLED POCKETS IN YOUR MOUTH THAT CAUSE GUM DISEASE AND BAD BREATH!

 

Pockets are created when your gums are not healthy and pull away from your teeth. Over time, bacteria fills up the pockets causing bad breath, yellow teeth, and an unhealthy foundation for your teeth. Often bacteria from the mouth can spread throughout the body, so it is very important to treat any existing pockets to keep your mouth and the rest of your body healthy.
