Understanding Periodontal Pockets and Bone Loss
When plaque and tartar are left to accumulate beneath the surface of your gums, they trigger an inflammatory response. Your body tries to fight off the bacteria, but in the process, the tissue begins to pull away from the teeth. This separation creates spaces known as periodontal pockets. If you have noticed persistent bad breath, a bad taste in your mouth, or teeth that feel slightly loose, these are classic signs that deep pockets have formed and the supporting bone is under attack.
At Periodent & Co, we specialize in diagnosing and treating these complex issues. Dr. Alexandra González, our lead periodontist, uses precise measurements to determine the depth of these pockets. Once the bacteria settle deep into these spaces, regular brushing and flossing simply cannot reach them. We focus on stopping the infection at its source to prevent further tissue and bone deterioration, keeping your natural teeth securely in place.

What is Scaling and Root Planing?
First, we perform the “scaling” phase. This involves carefully removing hardened tartar, plaque, and bacterial toxins from the tooth surface and deep down inside the periodontal pocket. We use specialized instruments to ensure nothing is left behind that could continue to irritate the tissue.
The second phase is “root planing.” Because tartar can leave the root of your tooth feeling rough, bacteria find it easy to attach and multiply there. During this step, Dr. González gently smooths the root surfaces. This not only removes remaining toxins but also provides a clean, smooth surface that encourages your gums to heal and securely reattach to the tooth, shrinking the pocket depth.

Comfort and Precision During Your Treatment
It is completely natural to feel a bit anxious when you hear terms like “root planing.” Many patients delay their visits because they assume the process will be highly uncomfortable. At Periodent & Co, we want to reassure you that your physical comfort is just as important to us as your clinical results.
Before we begin, we use targeted local anesthesia to completely numb the treated areas. You will feel some pressure and movement, but you should not feel any sharp pain. Dr. González has years of specialized training, allowing her to use a very gentle and precise touch. Depending on the severity of the buildup, we may break the treatment into two visits—focusing on one side of your mouth at a time—so you are never overwhelmed and your recovery is easy to manage.
After the numbness wears off, you might experience mild tenderness or sensitivity to cold for a few days. We will provide you with clear, simple aftercare instructions to ensure your recovery is fast and complication-free.
Do not let the fear of pain stop you from protecting your smile. We are here to make your visit as comfortable as possible.
Why Trust a Periodontist in Tijuana?
Addressing deep periodontal pockets requires a level of precision that goes beyond general dentistry. As a dedicated specialist, Dr. Alexandra González focuses exclusively on the structures that support your teeth. By choosing our clinic for your periodontics in Tijuana, you are placing your smile in the hands of an expert who knows exactly how to manage severe infections and promote natural tissue regeneration.
Ignoring deep pockets eventually leads to severe bone loss, which can cause your teeth to fall out. If that happens, replacing them often requires a complex dental bone graft to rebuild the jaw before placing implants. Treating the issue now with scaling and root planing is the most conservative and effective way to avoid extensive surgeries in the future.
Furthermore, we believe that premium specialist care should not be out of reach. We offer transparent, highly competitive dental prices in Tijuana that allow you to receive top-tier treatment without the financial stress you might experience across the border.
