If there's a pocket, there needs to be a reason for that pocket to occur. Did the doctor try to clean the pocket out so that you can maintain the hygiene and prevent the pocket from worsening and even possibly improving? If that doesn't solve the problem, there could be a potential fracture of the tooth resulting in a pocket.
