My Dental Coach: Cure for Gum Disease?

Periodontal surgery is indicated when your gum pocket  
depths are so deep that you can't adequately clean them.  
No matter what you do, that brush or floss will not get  
down to the bottom of the pockets.  
 
The purpose of periodontal surgery is to reduce the depths  
of those pockets to a point where you can clean them  
effectively. But that is just the beginning:  
 
Fighting gum disease is a lifetime battle. At home  
maintenance, including daily oral irrigation, will be most  
helpful.  
 
Remember: Gum disease is not only a local problem. Your  
mouth is connected to the rest of your body. Maintaining  
proper nutritition, eliminating smoking, daily exercise and 
developing healthy lifestyle habits will all contribute to  
a healthier gum condition and help you keep your teeth for 
a lifetime.
