Periodontal disease is a progressive condition that results in gum inflammation, bone and gum recession, and tooth loss if left untreated.\u00a0 The disease can be treated with a variety of effective treatments and procedures, including pocket irrigation, which can help slow its progression.<\/span><\/p> The purpose of pocket irrigation is to remove plaque from the interdental (between the teeth) and subgingival (under the gumline) regions of the mouth in order to prevent the colonization of harmful oral bacteria.\u00a0 During this procedure, antibacterials are also delivered to the subgingival area.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Oral irrigation, also known as pocket irrigation, is a versatile dental treatment used for several preventative purposes.\u00a0 Pocket irrigation can be performed during a professional dental cleaning or at home using a specially modified oral irrigator.<\/span><\/p> The following are the main benefits of pocket irrigation:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p> Irrigation of pockets is usually performed in conjunction with other dental treatments, such as a professional dental cleaning or pocket reduction surgery.<\/span><\/p> The tartar and subgingival plaque will be removed with special scaling and root planing instruments during pocket reduction surgery.\u00a0 Using an oral irrigator, antimicrobial agents can be applied after the pockets are free of debris.\u00a0 As a result, harmful oral bacteria that remain in the pockets will be reduced.<\/span><\/p> The pockets may be cleaned with a pocket irrigator after scaling and root planing during deep cleaning.\u00a0 It may be necessary to apply an antimicrobial agent in order to reduce subgingival oral bacteria.<\/span><\/p> A water jet or water pick can be used to perform pocket irrigation at home as part of a daily oral hygiene routine.\u00a0 When used as a substitute for professional dental cleaning, flushing the interdental area with water is less harmful to soft tissue than using dental floss.<\/span><\/p> You can ask your dentist about pocket irrigation, dental cleaning, periodontal disease, and treatment if you have questions.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Our dentists pride themselves on putting your needs first and offering FREE PARKING<\/strong> \u2014 a rarity for downtown dentists.

<\/span> Plaque, food particles, and other debris are removed from between the teeth by pocket irrigators.\u00a0 Keeping gum pockets clean and shallow keeps them healthy by removing harmful materials and bacteria.<\/span><\/li>
<\/span> Some strains of harmful oral bacteria have been eliminated and prevented using antimicrobial substances.\u00a0 The use of antimicrobial substances can be combined with water or used as a stand-alone treatment for pocket irrigation.<\/span><\/li>
<\/span> Bad breath (halitosis) is generally caused by old food particles between teeth and tooth decay.\u00a0 Even a toothbrush and dental scraper cannot reach into the depths of the gum pockets, but water jets can flush out food particles and help clean both above and below the gum line.<\/span><\/li>
<\/span> It is important to note that pocket irrigators have rounded tips, which reduces the risk of tissue damage when cleaning under the gum line.\u00a0 By flushing out bacteria, particles, and toxins below the gumline, the side port opening facilitates extensive cleaning.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tWhat does pocket irrigation treatment involve?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
