Hearing the words deep cleaning can leave you wondering what was found and why a regular cleaning will not do. For Aurora residents, this care takes place at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
The formal name is scaling and root planing, and it is recommended where periodontal pockets are present. A routine cleaning concentrates on the tooth surfaces you can see and just around them. This treatment reaches below the gums, onto the root surfaces where deposits have collected.
Learning that you may need it can feel sudden, particularly if your mouth does not hurt. Pockets often develop with little discomfort, which is why they are found by measuring. At Winnipeg North Dental, the first job is to review your findings and explain which areas are active, so the recommendation makes sense to you before you agree to anything.
Explore gum disease treatment
Treatment targets the deposits on root surfaces that sit beyond the reach of home cleaning.
Which areas need it comes from your measurements, rather than any standard routine.
Reassessment afterward shows how your tissue healed and what should happen next.
This is one stage in managing gum disease, not a standalone fix. Knowing what surrounds it helps you judge what you are being asked to do and why it is suggested.
Once the space beside a tooth has deepened, plaque can sit where a brush and floss may not reach.
Good results depend on what comes before and after the treatment appointment itself.
Outcomes vary from person to person. The aim is to control inflammation and protect remaining support, and reassessment shows how your own gums have responded.
Whether you were told this at a previous appointment or simply suspect it, you can expect your gums to be examined directly before anything is recommended. The steps are straightforward.
Request your visitPass along any explanation you received, as well as your symptoms, health conditions, medications, tobacco use, family gum history and earlier treatment.
Light readings around your teeth show where pockets exist and where there is bleeding, recession or a change in attachment.
Tooth movement, bite, deposits and suitable images help show how each tooth is held and which zones are difficult to keep clean.
With your results in front of you, go through whether deep cleaning is advised, for which areas, and what else may form part of your plan.
You are allowed to understand a recommendation fully before agreeing to it. Asking which teeth are involved, how many visits it may take and what happens afterward is a reasonable place to start.
An estimate is worth requesting before treatment begins. Your insurer or CDCP determines what is covered, so check with them as well.

Worry about what treatment will feel like is a common reason people put it off. Sensitive areas and past experiences are useful to mention, and it is perfectly fine to ask how comfort is managed.
Find out what is available to you and how it would apply to the areas being treated.
Roots that react to cold or areas that are already sore should be mentioned early.
Before starting, find out how your mouth may feel later and what to do about it.
Once the cleaning is done
Deep cleaning can reduce inflammation, but new plaque keeps forming. Reassessment and your daily routine decide much of what follows, and periodontitis usually calls for management over the longer term.
New readings can be compared with earlier ones to see whether pockets and bleeding have improved.
A realistic interdental habit protects the areas that were treated, day after day.
Maintenance timing reflects your history, stability and risk, so yours is set individually.

Helpful details about gum disease treatment in Aurora.
Ask our teamA routine cleaning is not designed to treat pockets and root surfaces below the gumline. If pockets are present, a different level of care may be needed to reach those deposits.
Not always. It is recommended where pockets are present, so your measurements decide. Ask which areas are involved and how they will be handled over your appointments.
No. Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical treatment. Surgical access is a separate option that may be discussed if deep pockets persist afterward.
The decision belongs to you. It can help to ask what your findings show and what waiting could mean, because periodontitis may advance with very little pain.
Reassessment gives you that answer. Your healing is measured and compared with your earlier readings, then used to decide on maintenance, further care or a referral.
You can request an assessment by calling (204) 338-3003 or using the form, and your gums would be examined at our McPhillips Street clinic. Mention what you were told.
