Dental Check-ups and Teeth Cleaning in Winnipeg

A dental check-up and a professional cleaning each have a role in your oral health. One gives your dentist a chance to assess your teeth and gums; the other helps remove plaque and hardened tartar and supports your home-care routine.

At Winnipeg North Dental, your visit begins with a conversation. Whether you are keeping up with regular appointments or returning after some time away, tell us what has changed and what you would like help with. We’ll explain the care recommended for you.

Two parts of preventive care

Your check-up and cleaning, explained.

These services are often booked together, but each has a different purpose. Your team will explain which parts are appropriate for your appointment.

Your dental check-up

An examination gives your dentist a picture of your current oral health and helps identify changes that need attention.

  • Review your medical and dental history and any concerns.
  • Examine your teeth, gums, bite, and existing dental work.
  • Discuss X-rays when clinically appropriate.
  • Explain findings and any recommended next steps.

Your professional cleaning

Your hygienist focuses on removing buildup and helping you care for your teeth and gums between visits.

  • Assess your gums and discuss any sensitive areas.
  • Remove plaque and hardened tartar with professional instruments.
  • Polish teeth when appropriate and discuss preventive options.
  • Offer brushing and interdental cleaning guidance for your needs.

The type of cleaning and time needed depend on your oral health. Your team will discuss the findings before recommending care.
