Learning that gum disease is something you manage rather than finish can be a surprise. Southdale residents who want to understand what living with periodontitis involves can request an assessment at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street and talk through a plan built for the long haul.
Let's find a time
Periodontitis means some of the attachment or bone holding your teeth has already been lost. Treatment works to stop further breakdown and keep what remains, but the tendency that let disease take hold usually stays. That is why it is generally managed over time instead of being declared cured after one round of care.
Seen that way, the work splits into two phases. An active phase deals with current inflammation and deposits below the gums. A maintenance phase follows, with recall visits spaced to your situation, so new buildup is disrupted and any change in pocket depth is noticed while it is still small.
Explore gum disease treatment
First the active disease is treated, then a maintenance rhythm takes over.
Regular charting lets a deepening pocket be spotted before it becomes a bigger problem.
Daily plaque control between visits is what keeps the gains from slipping.
The opening stretch of care targets whatever inflammation and deposits are present now. What it includes depends on how widespread and how deep the disease is.
Most plans for periodontitis start here.
Areas that do not respond may need another look.
Regenerative procedures can be considered for some defects, though they are not predictable or suitable everywhere. Any such option depends on your assessment.
The first assessment is also the reference point for years of comparison, so it is done thoroughly.
Request your visitShare any earlier gum diagnosis, deep cleanings you have had and how things have felt since. General health, prescriptions, tobacco and family dental history round out the picture.
Every tooth is probed for depth, bleeding, gum recession and attachment, creating the record later visits will be compared with.
Suitable images, mobility testing, bite and deposits help evaluate bone and areas that are tough to keep clean.
You hear what the active treatment would involve and how maintenance would likely work afterward.
If you were treated for gum disease before, any record of earlier readings gives a longer view of how things have changed.
When the clinic gets in touch, ask whatever you like about fees and how long things take. Coverage itself is a matter for your insurer.

Over repeated visits, your history, preferences and trouble spots become part of the record. That continuity makes each maintenance appointment more focused.
Ask how your readings have moved over several visits, not only on the day.
If your health or circumstances change, the plan can change with them.
A site that flares is information, not failure, and it can be treated.
The maintenance phase
Periodontal maintenance is more than a routine cleaning. It disrupts buildup below the gums and remeasures to catch any change early.
Pocket depths are checked again so any deepening site is noticed promptly.
Months between recalls are chosen from your earlier disease, today’s stability and your risk profile.
If an area becomes active, the plan can step up again for that site.
Between recall visits, phone the clinic if you notice new swelling, more bleeding or a tooth that starts to move.

Maintenance is planned around gum disease. It includes cleaning below the gums where needed and remeasuring pockets, at an interval set for you.
Some people’s recall needs change as their gums stay stable. That decision is based on your readings and risk over time.
That site may need retreatment or a different approach. Catching the change early is one of the main purposes of regular recalls.
Routine care focuses on preserving remaining bone. Regenerative procedures may be possible for certain defects, but not in every case.
There is no fixed schedule. Your interval is recommended after reassessment and reflects your history, home care, tobacco use, health and response to treatment.
Phone (204) 338-3003, or submit the form and say you have been diagnosed with periodontitis. The clinic will contact you about an assessment time.
These services may play a role at different points in managing periodontitis. Whether they apply is guided by your readings.
