Following up on a comment
“Keep an eye on that” deserves a clearer explanation.
Words like inflamed, puffy or a bit of bleeding are easy to hear and hard to act on. They might describe temporary irritation. They might also point to gingivitis, where the gums are inflamed but attachment is intact, or to periodontitis, where attachment or bone has begun to go.
Only a closer look can sort out which applies to you. If you live in Sinclair Park and have been wondering what that remark really meant, a periodontal assessment at our McPhillips Street clinic replaces the guesswork with measurements, images and a plain account of what they show.

Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about periodontics in Sinclair Park.
Ask our teamWhat might it mean if I was told my gums look inflamed?
Inflammation has several possible explanations, from short-lived irritation to active disease. Measurements are what separate one from another.
Could the remark turn out to be nothing much?
Possibly. An examination may show irritation that does not need periodontal care, and that is useful to know as well.
Can this wait until my next regular cleaning?
That is your call, though gum disease can advance with little discomfort, so feeling fine in the meantime does not tell you much. If it is on your mind, asking sooner is reasonable.
How does an assessment differ from a quick look?
Looking at the gums cannot reveal the full state of the tissues underneath. An assessment adds readings around each tooth and a review of bone and tooth support.
Should I find out what was noted at that earlier appointment?
If you can, it may add context. Mention any previous gum care and ask the clinic whether older records would be helpful to have.
What is the way to follow up from Sinclair Park?
Phone (204) 338-3003 or complete the request form, explaining that your gums came up at a recent cleaning. The clinic then gets back to you with a time.
