My hygienist told me today that I have a 5mm pocket on my lower right molar. It did hurt a bit when she was probing. The rest of my teeth were in the acceptable range. Being that I haven't had my teeth cleaned in over a year and due to my age (25) they recommended home care. They gave me a gum stimulator and told me to make sure I am brushing my gums well on that side, flossing, and using my waterpick. They hope that on my next visit the pocket will reduce and if not reduced they want to send me to a periodontist. After reading online about this, I'm concerned I should go to a periodontist now. Should I continue with home care and recheck or ask for a referral now?
