Often there is plaque and tartar that accumulates below the gum line. In this scenario, we will clean and smooth this area with special instruments to ensure that the area is completely spotless. If this area is not kept clean the entire area can become irritated with the bacteria that resides in the tartar and plaque. It’s very important to have your dentist check this area if you have bleeding during brushing.

I have always like Thompson Dental but today they went above and beyond to squeeze me in for a quick cosmetic procedure. I am very appreciative and grateful my tooth is repaired before the weekend.

When your dentist of 20+ years, anxiety has a way of setting in. Well, my anxiety is no more! Thank you Dr. Thompson for making me feel comfortable & at ease. Staff was pleasant and my hygienist Kim is ‘da bomb’!
