A true pocket is formed when, due to gum disease (periodontitis), the periodontal ligament (that attaches the tooth's root to the surrounding gum) is destroyed. This causes a gap or pocket that runs down the sides of the tooth. Eventually the bacteria that caused the periodontal disease will be introduced to the underlying Alveolar Bone and will destroy that also, causing the tooth to become mobile and ultimately it will fall out.
Gum disease can be halted, (the prognosis is better if caught earlier) by a routine of careful cleaning, visits to the dentist for ultrasonic periodontal cleaning, and use of anti-bacterial mouthwashes.
Signs of gum disease are: red angry swollen gums, bleeding gums on brushing, bad breath and build-up of tartar.
Remember life is more enjoyable with healthy teeth and gums.

True pocket is also known as periodontal pockets. It is caused due to untreated gum disease. These pockets are formed when the plaque in teeth is left uncleaned and gets hardened to form tartar. This hardened plaque gets settled in between gums and teeth creating a separation of gums. This can be treated by getting deep cleaning done at the dentists. If it is left untreated for a longer period of time. It may lead to gum recession or loss of the tooth.
