A tooth that moves, a new gap, a gumline creeping upward. People in The Maples can have these changes assessed at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
Noticing a tooth wiggle, or catching your reflection and thinking your teeth look longer, can be unsettling. Many people’s first thought is whether they are going to lose the tooth. That is a fair question to bring to an examination, and it deserves a careful answer.
As the attachment and bone around teeth are lost, teeth may loosen, spacing or your bite may shift, and the gumline can move. Treatment at Winnipeg North Dental, on McPhillips Street, aims to control the disease and protect the support you still have. What is possible for a particular tooth depends on what the assessment shows.
Explore gum disease treatment
Mobility, bite and bone are all considered, not just the appearance of your gums.
Ask directly about the outlook for the tooth that concerns you most.
Care is directed at stabilizing the tissues and bone still holding your teeth.
These visible signs often reflect what has happened beneath the gumline. Understanding them makes it easier to see what treatment can and cannot do.
Ongoing inflammation from periodontitis can gradually reduce the structures that hold a tooth in place.
The goal of routine periodontal treatment is control and preservation, and plans differ widely by case.
Gum recession or looseness can have more than one cause, and not every change means periodontitis. Only an examination can sort this out.
We look at your whole mouth, but the concern that brought you in stays at the top of the list. Here is a typical course for an appointment like this.
Request your visitPoint to what has changed and estimate when you noticed it. We then ask about your health, medications, smoking and any relatives with gum disease.
Probing is done gently at each tooth, giving a record of depth, bleeding and recession that goes well beyond your area of concern.
Mobility and your bite get checked, while appropriate images help show the bone that remains around your teeth.
We link the results to what you noticed and explain options for treatment and maintenance, including what remains uncertain.
When did the gap appear, or the tooth start to move? A rough timeline helps. An old photo in which you are smiling can even give you a useful point of comparison to mention.
Bring your questions along as well, and ask the clinic about appointment length and likely fees ahead of time.
Time to take in your results and ask about them.
Worry can make an examination feel like waiting for a verdict. Say what you are most afraid of hearing, so that it gets answered directly instead of being left hanging.
It is fine to ask directly whether a tooth can be kept, and what the answer depends on.
If a tooth is sore under pressure, warn us before it is checked, so we can take care.
Treatment information can be a lot to absorb, so ask us to repeat or go back over anything.
Watching stability
Lost support can be difficult to replace, which is why so much effort goes into preserving what you have. Measurements over time show whether the condition is staying stable.
Mobility and attachment are looked at again after treatment, giving a clearer basis for decisions about specific teeth.
Gaps and exposed roots change what your daily routine must reach, so ask what tools fit your mouth now.
Your maintenance timing reflects how stable things are, so returning as advised helps catch shifts early.
If a tooth suddenly feels much looser or is painful, please phone the clinic rather than waiting.

Helpful details about gum disease treatment in The Maples.
Ask our teamThat depends on why it moved and how much support it has left, so an examination is needed before anyone can say. Treatment is aimed at controlling disease and preserving the support around it.
No one can answer that from a description alone. After evaluating attachment, bone and mobility, your dentist can tell you what the findings suggest and which options exist.
Standard care focuses on stopping further damage and keeping what is left. Regenerative procedures can be considered for some selected defects, but they do not suit or work predictably in every site.
That appearance can come from the gumline moving down the tooth. An exam can check for recession and look for signs of the attachment changes seen in periodontitis.
Yes, mention it. Changes in spacing or the way teeth come together can occur as support is lost, although other causes are possible, and your bite is reviewed as part of the assessment.
Complete the form on this page, or call (204) 338-3003 and tell us which tooth is worrying you. The clinic on McPhillips Street responds to arrange a time.
Some of these relate to deeper gum care, others to rebuilding teeth. Your examination will show whether any of them apply.
