I don't have any pockets or pocketing - False!

This is an important point to make.

I've unfortunately had many potential customers tell me they don't have any pockets.

In fact, the reason I'm writing this is because, just yesterday, a customer wrote to ask if the hydrofloss would help because she has "no pockets".

Sorry,  that is 100% completely WRONG!

Everyone has periodontal pockets.  The question is: How deep are they?

If they are over 3mm, generally speaking, most dental professionals will consider that unhealthy.

I have written an entire post called:  How To Get Rid Of Gum Disease,

You can read that post here:

Why does everyone have pockets?  

One answer that I had from a periodontist on this question is illustrative of the problem.  Gum tissue and teeth are two different types of tissue.

Consider that you have a rock growing out of the palm of your hand.   It's obviously different material than the flesh of your palm.

How could there possibly be no gaps between these two types of material?

That's one explanation of why everyone has pockets.  Again, the question is :  How deep are those pockets?

I suggest you read:  How To Get Rid Of Gum Disease if you are interested in this topic.
