Hello If you have gum disease resulting in pockets u should undergo deep cleaning this deep cleaning will help heal the infected part of your gums. If this is not treated then it would lead to more infection and u might end up with mobility in your tooth and ultimately loosing it too. It might take time for your gums to heal from deep cleaning but it would benefit you.

Deep scaling along with medicine will definitely give u good result. Also try to do warm saline rinses.
