Just heard the word gingivitis
Periodontics for Margaret Park Residents
A gingivitis diagnosis is often an early one. Margaret Park residents can find out where they stand and what may help, with care at our Winnipeg clinic.
Let's find a time

Early on the spectrum
Gingivitis means inflamed gums, with attachment still in place.
Think of gum health as a range. At one end are firm tissues with no active breakdown. Gingivitis sits next along, with inflammation and bleeding but no lost attachment. Periodontitis comes after that, once attachment, supporting bone or both have been affected.
So a Margaret Park resident who has just been handed this diagnosis has good reason to take it seriously and little reason to panic. With professional care and consistent plaque control, gingivitis can often improve. At our McPhillips Street clinic, we can confirm which stage applies, since bleeding by itself does not reveal whether deeper support is involved.

Often reversible
Inflammation limited to the gums frequently responds well once plaque is being kept under control.
Your routine matters
Daily cleaning does much of the work here, using tools that actually suit your mouth and dexterity.
Stage needs confirming
Only measuring around the teeth can show whether attachment has been lost anywhere along the way.

An early gum appointment
A small problem still deserves a proper look.
The visit is about confirming your stage and building habits you can keep up, more than anything dramatic.

We ask about bleeding, tenderness, medical conditions, tobacco use and how you clean, including anything you find fiddly or tend to skip.

Confirm what stage this is

A little clarity before your visit
Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about periodontics in Margaret Park.
Ask our teamIs gingivitis the same as gum disease?
It is the early stage of it. Inflammation stays in the gums, without the attachment or bone loss that defines periodontitis.
Can gingivitis go away?
Often, yes. Professional care along with steady plaque control at home can settle the inflammation, though how quickly varies from one person to another.
Will it turn into periodontitis?
Not everyone follows the same course, and risk is personal. Tobacco, diabetes, dry mouth, some medications and genetics can all influence how tissues respond.
Should I stop flossing if it makes my gums bleed?
Bring it up with us rather than deciding alone. Bleeding often signals inflammation, and we can check your technique and tools during the visit.
Do I need a deep cleaning for gingivitis?
Scaling and root planing is meant for pockets in areas diagnosed with periodontitis. Your findings will show which level of care actually applies.
