I'm not sure if you and I have the same condition, but I had deep pockets in my gums, some measuring 5 or 6 mm. I had surgery to correct it. They only do one quadrant of the mouth at a time. I did have to eat soft food for a little while after each operation, but it was totally worth it, because now I am able to clean my teeth better (with an inter-dental brush) and avoid tooth decay down the road. I eat totally normally now. Using the interdental brush twice a day takes just a minute a day or less. If you have dental insurance, that is good, because it can be expensive to do the surgery. Now I see the periodontist twice a year for a special cleaning. It has been a few years, and the dentist says it's doing really well.
