Pink on your toothbrush is easy to shrug off. Patients from across Winnipeg can have it checked at our McPhillips Street clinic and find out what is behind it.
Let's find a time
Most people notice gum trouble in an ordinary moment: spitting after brushing, or flossing a spot that stings. Sometimes the cause is gingivitis, where the gums are inflamed and bleed but the attachment holding the tooth is intact. Sometimes it is periodontitis, where attachment, supporting bone or both have been lost.
Those two conditions call for different care, and they cannot be told apart in a bathroom mirror. That is why treatment at Winnipeg North Dental starts with an examination. Once we know where inflammation is active and what may be feeding it, we can recommend the steps your findings support.
Explore gum disease treatment
Learn whether your gums look healthy or show signs of gingivitis or periodontitis.
Care can range from coaching on daily cleaning to treatment below the gumline.
Later measurements show how the tissues responded and guide what happens next.
Bleeding can appear with either one. What separates them is whether the structures anchoring the tooth have been affected, and that takes measuring to confirm.
With gingivitis, tissues are irritated and bleed easily, yet no supporting attachment has been lost.
With periodontitis, the inflammation is accompanied by lost attachment, lost bone or both, so care usually goes further.
Which of these applies to you is decided by assessment, and some people have different findings in different parts of the mouth.
A look alone cannot show how the supporting tissues are doing, so several kinds of findings are gathered together. An assessment generally follows this order.
Request your visitWhen did the bleeding start, and does anything make it worse? We also ask about your health, medications, tobacco use, family history and past dental care.
A gentle probe is used around every tooth to record pocket depth, bleeding, recession and any change in attachment.
Your bite, tooth movement and deposits are reviewed, along with dental images where they are appropriate for your situation.
You get an explanation of which areas are active and the treatment and upkeep that would make sense, without unexplained jargon.
You do not have to diagnose anything yourself. A little observation in the days beforehand simply gives the conversation a useful starting point.
A rough note on your phone is plenty. Appointment length and costs are good questions to ask when you book.
Where gum assessments take place on McPhillips Street.
Sore or bleeding gums can make anyone hesitant about being examined. Point out the areas that worry you before anything starts, so they can be approached with that in mind.
Show us exactly where it hurts or stings, so nothing there comes as a surprise to either of us.
If the probe or any instrument makes you uneasy, ask what it does before it comes near your mouth.
A raised hand or another signal you choose beforehand tells us you would like a break.
After treatment begins
A single appointment is rarely the whole story with gum disease. Progress shows up in repeat measurements and in what your gums do between visits.
Daily plaque control carries much of the work, so the routine you are shown should be one you can realistically keep.
Comparing new readings with your original ones shows which areas settled and which still need attention.
Your disease history, stability and risk all shape how often you return, rather than a fixed calendar.

Helpful details about gum disease treatment in Winnipeg.
Ask our teamIt is common, but it is not something gums simply have to do. Bleeding may point to inflammation, and an examination can show whether this is a passing irritation or a pattern that needs periodontal care.
Gingivitis often responds well to professional care paired with steady plaque control. When periodontitis is behind the bleeding, supporting tissue may be involved too, so an assessment comes first.
Bring it up at your visit. We can look at the spots that bleed and show you an interdental method suited to your mouth and your dexterity.
It is one possible part of treatment, generally considered where periodontal pockets are present. Other plans centre on home-care coaching and professional cleaning, depending on what the assessment finds.
That depends on your diagnosis and which services are recommended. Ask the clinic for an estimate and have your plan details handy, since coverage varies from one plan to another.
Two routes work: phone (204) 338-3003, or send the short form on this page. Sending it holds no time, so expect a reply from the clinic before you plan around a date.
An assessment decides whether any of these fit your situation. Reading about them now can help you prepare your questions.
