Thank-you for the detailed reply and the link on how to use the oral irrigator correctly.

You are most welcome. That is what it is all about, trying to help each other out with health issues to avoid the many souless people who try to take advantage of us with dangerous products and surgeries.

That isn't to say there are some well meaning people in the health field, but you get the point. Like everything else, there are "good and bad".

I used to see a Hygienist regularly but she never did measure the pockets.
Periodontal probing determines how severe your disease is. A probe is like a tiny ruler that is gently inserted into pockets around teeth. The deeper the pocket, the more severe the disease.

 

In healthy gums, the pockets measure less than 3 millimeters—about one-eighth of an inch—and no bone loss appears on X-rays. Gums are tight against the teeth and have pink tips. Pockets that measure 3 millimeters to 5 millimeters indicate signs of disease. Tartar may be progressing below the gumline and some bone loss could be evident. Pockets that are 5 millimeters or deeper indicate a serious condition that usually includes receding gums and a greater degree of bone loss. https://www.dentalwatch.org/basic/gumdisease.html

Worth asking about at the very least. Maybe worth changing dentists.

Okay, so you can only buy 12% H202, no problem, just find a jug that's larger than 48 Oz, put one 12 OZ [Food grade H202], and 36 OZ of Distilled water. Shake to mix.

Some good info here about what else you can do with H202.

My irrigator holds 3 1/3 cups of solution, and I probably use to thirds of that. I get amazed at how much food particles are trapped. then brush.

Oh yea, if I could see the roots of a molar in my mouth, I would have to look for a dentist with a cavatat machine to determine if there was a cavitational issue below that tooth. [Xrays can't tell you.]

I hope this isn't the case for you. and all goes well.

 Just my opinions
