My friend went to her dentist and he found an 8 pocket. Wants to send
her to Perio but she cannot afford that for another 9-12 months. Her
dentist put Arestin in it for now. What self-help can she do at home to
prevent the pocket from getting worse until she can afford to go to Perio.

Extremely good oral hygiene. Brushing, flossing, mouthwash, the whole 9
yards. Better to get used to it now because after the perio treatment
she will have to maintain very good oral hygiene to avoid recurrence.
