Gum disease below the surface?
Gum disease can create pockets around teeth where bacteria and tartar collect. These areas may need more care than a routine cleaning can provide.

At Tomlinson Dental, scaling and root planing removes buildup below the gumline to support healing. We’ll discuss numbing for comfort and follow-up care for your gums.
