One spot that keeps acting up
Periodontics for Castlebury Meadows Residents
The rest of your mouth seems fine, but one patch of gum keeps flaring or catching food. Castlebury Meadows residents can have it examined at our Winnipeg clinic.

A single troublesome area
Small and local can still be worth a proper look.
Gum problems do not always spread evenly. A pocket may be deeper beside one tooth than beside the others, or one tight corner may simply be hard to reach. Food that lodges there and tissue that turns red, puffy or tender are both signs that the area deserves attention, even when everything else feels normal.
Then again, not every sore spot is periodontal. An examination is how you tell the difference. For those in Castlebury Meadows with a place they keep prodding with their tongue, our McPhillips Street clinic can check that site and also measure around your other teeth, since a problem you can feel may not be the only one present.

Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about periodontics in Castlebury Meadows.
Ask our teamCan gum disease affect just one area?
Yes, certain sites can be more affected than others. That is why readings are taken around each tooth and not merely at the place that hurts.
What makes food lodge between the same two teeth every time?
Several things could explain it, including spacing that has changed because of lost support or dental work that is awkward to clean around. An examination narrows it down.
Could the soreness be something other than my gums?
It could. Tenderness near a tooth can have more than one cause, and your exam may lead away from periodontal care altogether.
If only one spot is affected, would I need treatment across my mouth?
Not necessarily. Deep cleaning covers the areas that the findings identify, and the plan reflects how many sites are involved and how deep they are.
What if that spot suddenly swells or gets very painful?
Phone (204) 338-3003 and explain what has changed. Avoid relying on the online form for an urgent problem, because it is not the right channel for one.
How would someone from Castlebury Meadows arrange an exam?
Submit the form with a quick description of the spot, or ring the clinic. Once staff have your details, they will reach out about a time.
