Procedures are easy to read about. It is harder to find out what ordinary days look like afterward. Stony Mountain residents can use this page to think through meals, brushing and daily routines, and to prepare the questions only your own plan can answer.
Let's find a time
You still eat, brush your teeth and get through your day while your gums heal. Directions on cleaning, rinsing, diet and medication are provided by the clinic and depend on what was done, so a list copied from the internet may not apply to you.
Stony Mountain lies outside the City of Winnipeg. Residents come into the city for this treatment at our McPhillips Street clinic, then do most of their healing at home, so it makes sense to understand your routines before you leave the appointment.
Explore gum contouring
Ask what to eat and avoid, and for how long, because diet advice is matched to your treatment.
You keep your mouth clean while leaving the treated area undisturbed, so ask exactly how.
Hobbies, chores and other routines are worth mentioning, as you can then get advice on them.
It is hard to answer questions about food or brushing until you know the type of treatment. Here is how the two differ.
Selected tissue is reshaped with a laser or other accurate tool, as long as the bone sits clear of the proposed edge.
Surgical crown lengthening provides access to adjust bone, and the gum is then held in place at the planned height, sometimes using sutures.
Tell your dentist what you ordinarily eat, as general advice is harder to apply than an answer about your own meals.
Some questions belong at the assessment, and others come up later. This outline shows you when each is likely to be useful.
Request your visitGoals, photos and measurements come first. Once a procedure seems likely, ask how it could affect your meals and routines.
The site is frozen, the margin marked, the tissue shaped and the bleeding controlled. Find out when you can eat after the freezing wears off.
Stick to your directions on cleaning, rinsing, diet and medication, and resist the urge to prod or peek at the site.
Closure and plaque control are examined, and sutures come out if you have them. Ask now whether any restrictions can be relaxed.
Once you know your diet directions, it is easy to shop ahead so that the right foods are ready when you get back. A little planning saves you from a grocery run while your mouth is tender.
Since you will be travelling into Winnipeg, ask how long the appointment may take, and whether you should eat before you arrive.
Dental equipment over a pale blue chair, and a low bench beside a tall plant.
Tenderness tends to follow how many teeth were treated and whether bone was part of it, and your own comfort measures come with your instructions. The freezing means you may not feel much at first, so ask how to manage that stage.
Check what to do about eating and drinking while your mouth is still frozen.
Your medication and comfort guidance came from someone who knows the work you had.
Knowing why a food or habit is discouraged makes the guidance much easier to apply.
Back to normal, gradually
Your gums may stay red or swollen, or look irregular, for a while, which is no reason to give up on them. Normal routines can return as you are advised, and the contour goes on maturing quietly in the background.
Your dentist will check how cleaning is going, so ask for correction if it feels awkward.
Written or noted directions are easier to follow later than something you try to remember.
This visit is a natural time to ask which of your normal routines can now resume.

Helpful details about gum contouring in Stony Mountain.
Ask our teamYour diet directions are prepared for your treatment, so follow those over any general list. Ask at your appointment which meals fit and when you may return to your usual ones.
Ask for specifics before you leave. You will have instructions on cleaning and rinsing that protect the treated tissue, and they may differ from your regular routine for a time.
That belongs on your list of questions, along with anything else you drink daily. Your dentist can answer it in light of the treatment you actually had.
Describe your usual activities to the clinic and ask whether anything should wait. The answer may depend on how much was done and whether bone was involved.
Ask whether your regular brush, floss and rinse are still suitable during healing. Use only what your directions call for, and check before adding anything new.
