The corners your brush can’t find
Periodontics for Sage Creek Residents
Far-back molars, overlapping teeth and tight gaps tend to get short shrift, however careful you are. Sage Creek residents can have those spots checked at our McPhillips Street clinic.

Out of sight, under the gumline
Hard-to-reach teeth deserve a harder look.
You can see your front teeth in a mirror and check them after brushing. The rear of the mouth offers no such feedback. Plaque that lingers around molars or overlapping teeth can irritate the gum, harden into calculus and, in some people, lead to pockets that make the area harder still to keep clean.
Measuring every tooth means those trouble spots get counted along with the easy ones. Sage Creek is an area in Winnipeg, and residents curious about their own hard-to-reach places can ask for an assessment at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. You can then find out where plaque gathers in your own mouth and how you might get at it.

Last in the row
The far side of a final molar is awkward to reach, and it is a place where many brushes barely touch.
Teeth that overlap
Where neighbours sit at an angle, there may be narrow ledges that no ordinary bristle can properly clean.
Changing your angle
A small adjustment to technique or tool, shown in your own mouth, can make an awkward site more manageable.

Mapping your mouth
Finding out which places get missed.
An appointment like this gives you a guide to your own teeth, including the ones you rarely see.
Request your visit- 01
Name the areas you suspect
Is there a molar you struggle to reach, or teeth that always feel fuzzy? Those impressions help direct the examination.
- 02
Have each tooth measured and charted
Readings at each tooth, deposits and appropriate images show which areas have stayed healthy and which have not.
- 03
Practise on the hard spots
Ask for instructions that fit those exact sites, including which tool to use and from which direction it should approach.

Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about periodontics in Sage Creek.
Ask our teamWhy does gum trouble often start at the back?
It does not always, but rear teeth are harder to see and reach, so plaque may stay longer there. Molars can also have root shapes that make deep cleaning more involved.
My teeth are crowded. Does that mean gum disease is coming?
Not at all. Crowding can make cleaning harder, but many other things affect risk. Measurements tell you how your gums are actually doing around those teeth.
Which tool works for the far side of a last molar?
That depends on your mouth and how easily you can reach. Ask to have a few options demonstrated, so you can see which you would realistically keep using.
Can tartar build up where I can’t see it?
Yes, and it may form beneath the gumline as well as above it. Only professional instruments can remove these hardened deposits.
If one back area is bad, is the whole mouth affected?
Gum disease may be more active in some places than in others. An assessment identifies the specific sites, and treatment may be directed at those areas.
What is the process for requesting this from Sage Creek?
Our request form on this page is one way to do it, and (204) 338-3003 is the other. Please use the phone for urgent concerns, including any fast-developing swelling.
