Gum disease below the surface
Gum disease can create deeper spaces around the teeth where bacteria and tartar build up. These areas may require more thorough treatment than a routine cleaning can provide.
Deep cleaning treatment
At Tomlinson Dental, scaling and root planing removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline to help the gums heal. We’ll discuss options to keep you comfortable during treatment and explain the follow-up care your gums may need.

We’ll check your gums and pocket depths, then explain the level of care that may be appropriate. Healthy gums may only need a routine cleaning, while deeper pockets and more advanced gum disease may require scaling and root planing.
Patient Reviews
“I can also attest to them being reasonable price because I had a second opinion on a deep cleaning and they made the payment arrangements affordable and reasonable for me to pay.”
