When recall visits have slipped
Periodontics for Lockport Residents
You had treatment, things improved, and the follow-up appointments quietly dropped away. If you live in Lockport and that sounds familiar, here is how to pick maintenance back up in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time

Treatment was not the finish line
Plaque kept forming after your last appointment.
It is easy to think of gum treatment as a job completed. In reality, periodontitis tends to be managed over the long term, and new buildup keeps collecting in places that were once deep pockets. Regular maintenance exists to disrupt that buildup and to watch for change while it can still be caught early.
Falling behind happens, particularly when each appointment involves coming into the city from a community such as Lockport. A gap does not settle what state your gums are in, good or bad. Measurements at our McPhillips Street clinic can show where things have held and where they have not.

Ask our teamHow is a maintenance visit different from an ordinary cleaning?
A routine cleaning is preventive and works above and around the gumline. Maintenance after periodontitis also involves monitoring pocket depths and tackling new buildup in areas with a history of disease.
Could my pockets have come back?
It can happen, since inflammation and deeper readings can recur when plaque collects or risk factors remain. Only fresh measurements can tell you whether it has happened in your case.
Will I have to repeat deep cleaning?
That depends on the findings. Some areas may simply need ongoing maintenance, whereas active pockets may call for treatment below the gumline again. You can ask to go through the reasons.
My gums seem healthy. Is it urgent to return?
Gum disease can advance with very little discomfort, so how your mouth feels is a limited guide. It may not be an emergency, yet an exam is the way to get an accurate reading.
Can a longer interval work if I live outside the city?
Ask the dentist. The interval is meant to follow your condition and risk, so it is reasonable to explain your situation and hear what your gums would safely allow.
How do I get back on the books from Lockport?
Our form on this page is one way, and (204) 338-3003 is the other. Should you have sudden swelling or severe pain in the meantime, call the clinic rather than sending the form.
