For temporary relief you can buy betadiene mouth wash and hydroxyl mouthwash . Mix 5 ml each in half cup Luke warm water and gargle 3 times a day . But even after LANAP if pockets persist ... flap surgery is recommended

How many days has it been since LANAP? Instead of LANAP go in for open Flap Surgery. LANAP does not remove necrotic cementum. It only removes the infected lining. Without raising a Flap, the residual calculus, necrotic cementum cannot be removed. Not can Root planning be done.
