The floss you never quite use
Periodontics for Pembina Residents
Plenty of adults admit that flossing lasts about a week after each dental visit. If that sounds familiar and you live in Pembina, an honest gum check at our McPhillips Street clinic can show where things stand.

No lecture required
A habit you will keep beats a perfect one you won’t.
Bristles clean the outer surfaces and miss much of what lies between neighbouring teeth. Plaque left in those tight spaces can inflame the gums, and given time, it hardens into calculus that no home tool will lift. Those spaces are therefore worth some kind of daily attention, even if a string of floss is not the method you stick with.
Being candid about your habits gives you far more useful advice. Pembina is an area in Winnipeg, and people there who want a realistic plan can ask for one during a gum assessment at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. Tools are chosen with your mouth, your dexterity and your actual routine in mind.

Say what actually happens
Telling someone you floss twice a month is more helpful than the answer you think they want to hear.
Try another tool
Small brushes, picks and floss holders are all alternatives you can ask about if the string itself is the obstacle.
Attach it to something
Linking between-teeth cleaning to brushing or another daily habit may make it easier to remember.
When habits alone won’t fix it

Better routines help, but hardened deposits need professional removal. These services explain what could come next if an exam finds them.

Helpful details about periodontics in Pembina.
Ask our teamWill I get scolded for not flossing?
The purpose of the visit is to understand your gums and find a routine that suits you. Being open about your habits simply makes the advice more relevant.
Does it matter which between-teeth cleaner I use?
Spaces vary in size from one mouth to the next and even from tooth to tooth. Ask which option fits yours, and what is manageable for your hands.
My gums bled when I tried flossing again. Have I done damage?
Bleeding may be a sign that the tissue was already inflamed. Stay gentle and have it checked, particularly if it continues or you notice other changes.
Is daily flossing enough to reverse what has happened?
Consistent plaque control can often help gingivitis improve. Periodontitis is different, since calculus in pockets calls for professional treatment and supporting tissue may already be affected.
If I start cleaning properly now, can I skip the exam?
Starting is worthwhile, but it cannot reveal what is below the gumline. Measurements can, and gum disease may progress without much discomfort.
What should I do to arrange a visit from Pembina?
Fill out the request form or dial (204) 338-3003. If you ever have serious pain or rapid swelling, phone the clinic rather than sending a form.
