Teeth that look a little longer
General Dentistry for Parkview Pointe Residents
The gumline seems to have shifted, and a spot near it has started reacting to cold. Parkview Pointe residents can have this examined at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.

Noticing a change at the gumline
Receding gums deserve a closer look.
When gum tissue sits lower than it once did, more of the tooth can show and part of a root may be exposed. Roots tend to be more reactive than the crown of a tooth, which is one reason a sudden zing from a cold drink can appear in that area. There can be more than one explanation, and photos online will not tell you which applies to you.
A check-up looks at the teeth and at the gums and tissues supporting them, and your hygienist carries out a gum assessment as part of the cleaning. Findings could be reassuring, or they could point to gum disease that needs specific attention. For Parkview Pointe patients, the aim of that first visit is simply to learn where things stand and what should be monitored or treated.

Gums assessed directly
Supporting tissues get the same attention at your visit as the teeth they hold in place.
Gentler when it is tender
Let your hygienist know where exposed roots feel sensitive, so the approach can be adjusted.
A baseline for later
Having today’s condition recorded makes future changes easier to compare at later exams.
What may follow the assessment
General care Parkview Pointe patients can review
Check-ups & Cleanings is the place to start. Laser Dentistry may support selected gum procedures, while a decayed root surface could lead to Dental Fillings. Gum disease treatment has its own section under our periodontal services. Our Dental Laboratory appears here as information, not as a booking option.

Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about general dentistry in Parkview Pointe.
Ask our teamDo receding gums always mean gum disease?
Not always. Gum disease is one possibility your dentist will want to consider, but only an assessment can show whether it is present in your case.
Why has one spot become so sensitive?
An exposed root is one explanation, though decay or a crack can also cause discomfort. Pinpoint the tooth for the team, and ask them to check what is behind it.
Could a cleaning make it feel worse?
Tender gums and exposed roots can make a cleaning feel more sensitive. Speak up as it happens, so that your hygienist can change the approach and talk about comfort options.
Can gums grow back after they recede?
This is one to ask your dentist directly, since possibilities vary with the cause and your own situation. What can be done for you becomes clearer after the examination.
Is laser treatment an option for this?
Lasers may support selected gum and soft-tissue procedures, but suitability is individual. Your dentist can tell you whether it has any place in your care.
How should a Parkview Pointe resident ask for a gum assessment?
Add a line about your gumline to the online request, or speak with the office at (204) 338-3003. Clinic staff get back to you to arrange a time, because a request does not hold one.
