Gum changes and your prescriptions
Periodontics for Meadow Land Residents
When your gums change around the time your medicine list does, it is natural to wonder. Meadow Land residents can have that examined at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.

Connecting two things that seem unrelated
What you take can be part of your gum picture.
Certain medications are among the influences on gum risk and healing, which is why a periodontal history asks about them. If your gums have felt or looked different since a prescription started or changed, that timing is useful to report, whether or not the two turn out to be linked.
Questions about the prescription itself belong with whoever prescribed it. What we can do for Meadow Land residents at our McPhillips Street clinic is examine the tissue, record what has changed, and involve another healthcare professional when that would help.

Keeping the clinic updated on what you take makes every assessment and treatment decision better informed.
Timing can be a clue
When a gum change first appeared compared with a prescription change is worth working out, even roughly.
Plaque is still examined
Medication is rarely the whole explanation, so deposits, home care and pocket depth get checked as well.

Helpful details about periodontics in Meadow Land.
Ask our teamCan a medication really affect my gums?
Some can influence gum risk and healing. Whether yours plays a part is not something a web page can settle, so bring the list and have your gums examined.
Should I stop taking something if my gums got worse?
That is a decision for the person who prescribed it, so speak with them. Meanwhile, the clinic can look at what is going on with your gums.
Do vitamins and over-the-counter products count?
Include them on your list. It only takes a moment, and it gives the clinic a fuller view of what could be relevant to your care and healing.
Does my medication affect whether I can have gum treatment?
Your medical history and medicines are reviewed before care is planned. If other professionals need to weigh in, coordinating with them can make that planning safer.
What if my gums improve and then get worse again?
Gum risk can change over time. Report any new pattern, along with updates to your health or prescriptions, since recall intervals and plans can be revisited.
How does a Meadow Land resident arrange this?
Telephone (204) 338-3003 or submit the form with a short note about what changed. Clinic staff reply to find a time. If swelling is rapid or pain is severe, make it a phone call.
