The pockets becomes more deeper, allowing bacteria to live. Bacteria may accumulate around the teeth and can spread to the gum tissue. Bone and tissue loss are the results if bacteria are accumulate in the deep pockets that were formed. Loss of bones and tissues can lead to eventual loss of tooth.

If pockets are starting to form around the teeth it should be reported to the dentist at an early stage.
