Deep cleaning, demystified
Periodontics for Garden City Residents
The phrase deep cleaning can sound alarming. Garden City residents can find out what it involves, and whether it fits their findings, at our Winnipeg clinic.

Why this is not a regular cleaning
The work happens where a toothbrush cannot go.
A routine cleaning is preventive, focused above and around the gumline. Scaling and root planing, by contrast, treats root surfaces within the pockets of areas diagnosed with periodontitis, clearing plaque, calculus and bacterial deposits so inflamed tissue has a chance to settle.
If you live in Garden City and someone has mentioned this treatment to you, it is fair to want the reasoning. Pocket depths, bleeding, deposits beneath the gums and bone levels are what justify it, and at our McPhillips Street clinic we walk through those findings before anything begins.

Numbing is common
Local anaesthetic is often used so that root surfaces can be treated without hurrying.
Sections if needed
Depending on how many areas are involved, the work may be done at once or spread across visits.
Roots, not polish
The goal is removing contaminated material, not making roots unnaturally smooth.

On treatment day
What to expect in the chair.
The appointments before a deep cleaning depend on your plan, but the treatment itself tends to follow a familiar path.
Request your visit- 01
Get comfortable first
The planned area is usually frozen, with the amount depending on your health history, preferences and how much is being treated.
- 02
Have the roots cleaned
Specialized instruments reach under the gums to lift deposits and disrupt bacteria on the surfaces identified in your plan.
- 03
Leave with instructions
Cleaning advice is tailored to treated spaces and any sensitivity, and softer foods can help for a while if chewing feels tender.

Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about periodontics in Garden City.
Ask our teamWill I feel the deep cleaning?
Local anaesthetic is often part of the visit. Tell us about your health history and preferences so comfort can be planned for your situation.
Why can a regular cleaning not do the same job?
Its purpose is different. Calculus under the gumline inside a pocket calls for professional instrumentation directed at the root surface.
How will my mouth feel afterward?
Some tenderness, reaction to hot or cold, or slight bleeding can occur, varying with how much was treated. These effects should generally ease as healing begins.
Why do my teeth look different after treatment?
As swelling subsides, tissue may firm up and pockets may measure shallower, but recession or gaps can also become easier to see.
Is one deep cleaning the end of it?
Usually not. Those treated for periodontitis generally continue with maintenance, and a follow-up compares your measurements with the starting point.
When should I call after treatment?
Phone (204) 338-3003 for bleeding that persists, growing swelling, severe pain or anything that does not match your instructions.
How can I ask about treatment if I live in Garden City?
A phone call to (204) 338-3003 or the form on this page will both work. All treatment is provided at McPhillips Street, and the clinic confirms any appointment.
