Whitening, sensitive, enamel, charcoal. Store shelves make big promises, and it is hard to know what your own mouth needs. A check-up and cleaning gives you someone to ask.
Let's find a time
A label is written for everybody, while your dental team has actually looked at your teeth. Your check-up shows what is going on with your gums, your older dental work, and any sensitive areas. From there, a suggestion about a brush, a cleaner, or a toothpaste has some basis behind it.
Middlechurch is outside the City of Winnipeg, so residents who choose our clinic come in to McPhillips Street for their care. Products also have limits: nothing on a store shelf removes hardened tartar, which is one reason professional cleanings exist in the first place.
Explore check-ups & cleanings
Pictures of what you use now save you from trying to remember brand names in the chair.
The right recommendation depends on your gums, your spacing, and the places you find hard to reach.
Feel free to ask whether something you bought is worth continuing, or just an extra step.
Knowing what is going on in your mouth makes the shelf a lot less confusing. Your dentist and hygienist each contribute something different toward the advice you take home.
The dentist’s examination tells you whether there are concerns that a product could help with, or that one can’t address.
Your hygienist uses professional instruments for deposits that have hardened, then talks with you about daily care.
Your hygienist can talk about types of products suited to your mouth. Whether something is right for you depends on your own findings, so bring questions instead of assuming.
Product questions fit in easily at most points in the visit, and they tend to make most sense near the end. Here is a typical sequence, though yours may differ.
Request your visitYour history and medications are reviewed first, and you can add the toothpaste, rinse, and cleaners that are part of your routine.
Your dentist examines your mouth, recommends X-rays only when appropriate, and goes over what is healthy and what needs watching.
Your hygienist addresses plaque and hardened tartar, may polish your teeth, and notices which places your routine is missing.
This is the moment to ask what to keep, what to change, and when you should return for your next exam or cleaning.
You probably don’t need to carry everything in with you. A list or a few photos will let your hygienist see what you have been relying on, and whether it matches what your mouth needs.
Before coming into the city, it may also help to ask how long your appointment could take and what the examination and cleaning are estimated to cost.
A long grey-and-white counter facing a narrow navy bench.
Maybe it holds six half-used rinses, or just one tired brush. Either way, your team is there to help you make sense of it. You won’t get far by pretending, and you have nothing to apologize for.
Whatever you saw online, you are welcome to ask if it makes any sense for your teeth.
If a paste or rinse has been irritating your mouth, tell your team what you noticed and when.
Your hygienist can agree on a pause signal with you before any cleaning work starts.
Back at the drugstore
Good home care doesn’t require a full shelf. The plan you take home should focus on the areas that need your attention, using tools that you are likely to keep using.
Note the type of product suggested before leaving, because it is easy to forget by the time you reach the store.
If you are adding a new cleaner, ask how to use it properly, then give it a fair chance to become routine.
At your next appointment, tell your hygienist how it went, including what you have stopped using and why.

Helpful details about check-ups & cleanings in Middlechurch.
Ask our teamPossibly, though it depends on what your exam shows, along with concerns such as sensitivity or frequent cavities. Your hygienist can talk about the kind that suits your mouth.
A rinse doesn’t physically clean the surfaces between your teeth in the way an interdental tool does. Ask your hygienist what would work for your spacing and your routine.
The answer varies with the gaps you have and what you will actually keep doing. Bring what you have, and your hygienist can suggest something for the particular areas you find difficult.
Hardened tartar needs professional instruments, so it is one for your cleaning appointment, when your gums can also be assessed. Ask your hygienist about any kit you have seen advertised.
They mostly target surface stain, and they won’t suit every situation. If whitening is your goal, raise it at your check-up so that your dentist can talk about what is causing the colour.
Mention it to the clinic by phone, and stop guessing about the cause. A sore that isn’t healing should be assessed in any case, whatever you have been using.
Ring (204) 338-3003, or fill out the request form you see here. Your appointment would be at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6, once confirmed.
Sometimes the honest answer is that a concern needs more than a new tube of toothpaste. These services may come up if your dentist recommends further care.
