Hearing the words bone loss on an X-ray can be unsettling. Brooklands residents can have those images and their gum readings explained together at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg, in language that makes sense.
Let's find a time
Teeth are held in place by bone and attachment fibres that nobody can inspect by looking in a mirror. When periodontitis develops, that support can gradually be affected, sometimes with little warning. Dental images and careful gum measurements each reveal part of what is going on.
Neither source tells the whole story alone. At Winnipeg North Dental, we consider them together with your history to judge the pattern and severity, and whether disease seems active today. You can ask us to point out what we are seeing and what it may mean.
Explore gum disease treatment
Images show bone levels, while measurements describe the gum around every tooth.
Reduced bone does not by itself reveal whether the process is still underway.
Routine care aims to control disease and help preserve the support you still have.
A gum chart and a dental image answer different questions. Putting them side by side gives a fuller understanding of tooth support than either could alone.
Appropriate dental images let us evaluate parts of the supporting structure hidden from direct view.
These readings capture what is happening in the tissues, which images cannot show on their own.
Treatment such as plaque control, calculus removal, or scaling and root planing is chosen according to these combined findings, not from one image or number.
Whether you are coming for the first time or following up on something you were told, here is the general progression of a gum assessment.
Request your visitShare any previous comments about bone, along with symptoms, medical conditions, medications, tobacco use, family history and past dental care.
Delicate measurements at each tooth record how deep pockets are, where bleeding occurs, any recession and attachment changes.
We look at appropriate images, tooth mobility, your bite and any deposits, noting the sites that are challenging to keep clean.
Your dentist describes the pattern, identifies any active areas and sets out a suggested plan for treatment and long-term maintenance.
If another dental office has taken images recently, ask us about having them transferred. Older ones can be useful for comparison too, where they still exist.
When booking, you can ask how much time to allow and what costs may be involved. Whether a plan covers images or treatment depends on its terms.

This term can sound alarming, and it covers a wide range of situations. Ask us to slow down, go back over a point, or show you which area of your mouth we mean.
Knowing which teeth are involved can make a general statement feel more concrete.
Your dentist can talk through what the finding could mean for those particular teeth.
If you have concerns about images, ask why one is recommended before it is taken.
Watching for change
One set of findings shows a single moment. Follow-up readings, and new images when they are appropriate, can help reveal whether things have remained stable or something has changed.
Healing measurements help decide if maintenance, additional care or a referral comes next.
Daily cleaning supports your remaining bone by helping to limit ongoing inflammation.
Maintenance intervals let new deposits be disrupted, and let pocket depths be tracked over time.
Notice a tooth feeling looser or your bite shifting between appointments? Contact the clinic and describe the change.

Helpful details about gum disease treatment in Brooklands.
Ask our teamSome defects may be candidates for regenerative procedures, though these do not suit every area and their results are hard to predict. Routine treatment concentrates on controlling disease and keeping the support you have.
The two give different kinds of information. Measurements describe the gum around each tooth, and images can help show bone that cannot be assessed by looking or probing alone.
They are taken when appropriate, based on your needs and what recent records exist. Tell us about any taken elsewhere, and ask about having them sent over.
Not on its own. Bone changes can reflect past events, so bleeding, pocket depth and other findings help show whether disease appears active at present.
Yes, that is a reasonable question to ask. Your dentist can describe what the images suggest and how they relate to the rest of your findings.
Request a visit through this page, or phone (204) 338-3003 and mention what you were told. The assessment would be done on McPhillips Street.
Some of these relate to treating pockets, while others cover replacing teeth. Your dentist can tell you whether any applies to your situation.
