Maybe a tooth looks a little taller in photos, or a root edge has started catching your fingernail. Sinclair Park residents can have receding gums measured and explained at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
A gumline rarely shifts overnight, so the change often goes unnoticed until a tooth starts to look different. Recession is one of several things a gum assessment records, because gum tissue moving away from the crown can happen with or without active disease.
At Winnipeg North Dental, the question is why it has happened and whether it is still going on. Recording the position of your gums alongside bleeding, pocket depth and attachment gives a clearer answer than the mirror can, and it creates a baseline for comparing later.
Explore gum disease treatment
Recorded positions make it possible to compare any later shift against real numbers.
Inflammation is one explanation for recession, and the exam helps separate it from others.
Tell us where cold or brushing feels sharp, so those teeth get a closer look.
A lower gumline tells us where the tissue sits today, though not why it got there. That is why recession is read together with every other measurement.
Each tooth is looked at individually, since recession can be limited to a few areas or more widespread.
Where periodontitis is active, treatment aims to calm it and preserve the support that remains.
Routine gum treatment is meant to control disease. It should not be expected to return your gumline to where it once was, so ask what is realistic for your own situation.
You know how your smile used to look, and that history is useful. Here is how the appointment generally moves from your observations to the findings.
Request your visitShow us the teeth that seem longer, and mention sensitivity, bleeding, health conditions, medications, tobacco use, family history and earlier care.
Light measurements taken around each tooth note where the gum sits, how deep any pockets run, and where bleeding shows up.
Your bite, any looseness, deposits and appropriate images add information about bone and about areas that are tricky to keep clean.
Your dentist explains whether disease appears active, which teeth are affected, and what treatment and upkeep might involve.
You do not need to work out the cause yourself. A few details about when you noticed the change, and what your routine looks like, give the conversation a useful start.
Time and estimated costs are reasonable things to raise when you book. What your plan pays will depend on its terms and on the care provided.

Root surfaces can react more readily than enamel once the gum has moved. Letting us know which teeth feel sharp helps us approach them with care and gives us useful clinical information too.
Pointing them out before we begin means nothing comes as a surprise to either of us.
If the air or water spray bothers you, mention it and we can talk about it.
Ask to have the affected area explained so the numbers mean something to you.
Keeping watch afterwards
Success here means the change slows or stops, not that the tissue returns. Comparing new readings against your baseline shows whether things are holding steady.
Ask for guidance on brushing around receded areas so your cleaning reaches them without harsh scrubbing.
Later recordings sit beside your first ones, which makes small movements easier to catch.
When periodontal maintenance is advised, its spacing reflects your history, stability and risk.
If another tooth begins looking different between visits, let the clinic know rather than waiting for your recall.

Helpful details about gum disease treatment in Sinclair Park.
Ask our teamNot always. Recession has more than one possible cause, and gum disease is among them. Measurements of pockets, bleeding and attachment help show whether disease is part of your picture.
Please do not count on that. Routine care is aimed at controlling disease and protecting the support still in place. You can ask your dentist what might apply to the specific area.
It is worth mentioning. Bring your toothbrush habits into the conversation, and your hygienist can suggest a way to clean thoroughly that suits the exposed areas.
Several things can cause this, and a root surface uncovered by a shifting gum is one possibility. An examination is how to find out which applies to that tooth.
Yes. Long-standing recession can still be recorded and checked for signs of active disease, and those records make any future change far easier to spot.
Use the request form here, or phone (204) 338-3003 and describe what you have noticed. Your assessment would then be arranged at our McPhillips Street location.
These services come up in gum care conversations. Whether any applies to you depends on what the measurements show.
