Had my dental exam a few days ago. Don’t know if the hygienist was new but I had to hold the suction tube while she was cleaning because I was drowning. Anyway, measured my gums and at the end told me I had some 4 and one 5mm pocket... and periodontal disease. She said it was inactive because the pocket is still attached and there is no inflammation or bleeding. She said if my gums were inflamed they would do a deep clean. After the cleaning the actual dentist came in...took a look at my teeth and xrays...and never mentioned anything... I am somewhat confused...do I have periodontal disease ? I would think the dentist would mention this. Is it possible to have a 5mm pocket with no disease? Thanks
