Periodontal Gum Pockets
One of the main signs of gum disease is the development of pockets or spaces around teeth as the gums lose their firm attachment to teeth. These spaces or gaps are called periodontal pockets. When periodontal pockets develop, gums are more likely to bleed, letting harmful bacteria into your bloodstream. These inflammatory bacteria can then negatively affect general health, increasing the risk of or worsening existing health problems. New York periodontist Dr. Rahmani provides a full range of periodontal procedures to treat periodontal gum pockets. Our state of the art facility equipped with the most advanced periodontal equipment available in USA including latest lasers & high precision microscopes. What Are Periodontal Gum Pockets?
When you visit your dentist for regular checkups you might be aware they gently probe your gums, and you may hear them reading out various measurements to their assistant. Your gums are probed using a special instrument to see if they bleed at all, as healthy gums should not bleed when probed. The dental probe is inserted into the small space in between your gum and tooth to measure the overall depth. If you have healthy gums, this depth will be around 3 mm, but any greater could indicate periodontal disease (see: periodontal disease symptoms).
