Having no regular dentist makes sore or bleeding gums harder to act on, because there is nobody obvious to ask. St. Andrews is outside the City of Winnipeg, and residents who choose our clinic come in to McPhillips Street for their care.
Let's find a time
Perhaps your last office closed its file on you years ago, or you simply never replaced the one you left. Meanwhile your gums have started doing something new. Not having a dental home is no reason to sit on that, and you do not need to sort out the whole of your dental life before asking about one part of it.
At Winnipeg North Dental, the starting point is a periodontal assessment, which sorts out whether your tissues look healthy, show gingivitis, or show the attachment and bone changes of periodontitis. Everything that follows comes from those findings, so a blank dental history is simply where the conversation begins.
Explore gum disease treatment
Tell us what you remember about past care, even when that is not very much.
Measurements taken now give every later visit something to be compared against.
Findings explained in everyday words help you decide what to do about them.
Newcomers often assume the outcome will be either nothing at all or something drastic. Most of what is actually done sits between those extremes, and the choice follows what is measured.
Gingivitis means bleeding and inflammation without any lost attachment, and it often improves with steady plaque control and professional care.
Periodontitis involves lost attachment, lost bone, or both, so care usually reaches beneath the gumline and carries on afterward.
Which path applies, if either, cannot be known until you have been examined. Periodontitis is generally managed over time rather than considered permanently cured.
Walking into a new dental office is easier when you know the order of things. A gum assessment generally moves through these stages.
Request your visitExpect questions about bleeding, sensitivity, medical conditions, medications, tobacco, relatives with gum trouble, and whatever care you can recall having.
A gentle probe goes around every tooth, noting pocket depth, bleeding, recession and attachment so the clinic has a first record of each area.
Your bite, any looseness, deposits and suitable dental images all help show how well your teeth are supported and which spots are hard to keep clean.
The pattern is laid out in clear language, including where disease is active and what a treatment and maintenance plan could involve for you.
You may have no chart in hand and only a rough memory of your last cleaning. That is enough to begin, though a few details can make your first appointment more useful.
Because you are coming into the city, ask how long to allow when the clinic replies to you. A form request does not hold a time until it has been confirmed.
Black chairs on either side of a white desk, near a tall window.
Being unfamiliar with a place can make anyone quieter than they mean to be. Please ask whatever comes to mind, including questions that feel basic.
Letting the team know you are new gives them a reason to explain each stage as it comes.
If you have never had your gums measured, ask to hear what is happening before it starts.
Point out where your gums feel sore so that you can talk about comfort before work begins there.
Staying connected after that first visit
One reason to settle on a dental office is continuity. Pocket readings mean most when they can be set beside earlier ones, and that is much easier once a record exists.
Each set of measurements adds to the last, so gradual change has a chance of being noticed early.
Your interval reflects disease history, current stability and risk, and it is recommended after reassessment.
Having a dental office you can phone means a new concern has somewhere to go between visits.
Planning repeat trips? Ask what the first few months of care could look like once your findings are known.

Ask our teamYes, you can request one on this page or by phone. Mention that you have no current dental office, and explain what has been bothering you about your gums.
Missing history makes comparison harder, but it does not stop an assessment. Today’s measurements become the reference point for whatever is recorded later.
It reviews tooth support, looseness, your bite and deposits. If you also want a general check-up, say so when you get in touch and ask how those appointments would be organized.
Nobody can give an honest count before the exam. Gingivitis and periodontitis call for different amounts of care, so raise this again once your findings have been explained.
An assessment is a way to find out what is happening. You can take time to think about the recommendations and bring any questions back before agreeing to treatment.
