Periodontics for Southdale Residents

Gum risk is not something you settle once and forget. If your health, habits or dental work have changed, Southdale residents can have their gums reviewed afresh at our McPhillips Street clinic.

Plaque sets off gum inflammation, but how your tissues respond depends on other things as well. Tobacco exposure, diabetes, a dry mouth, certain medications and genetics can all shift the balance. So can new crowns or bridges, if they make some spots harder to keep clean.

People often assume their gums will carry on as they always have. Southdale is an area in Winnipeg, and residents whose circumstances have shifted can request an updated assessment at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. Comparing fresh findings with your history makes it easier to tell whether anything has actually changed.

Your health list

New diagnoses or changes to existing conditions are worth reporting, even if they seem to have nothing to do with teeth.

Your dental work

Recent restorations can add edges and contours, and those may affect how easily an area can be cleaned.

Your routine

Changes in tobacco use or in how easily you can manage a brush are relevant to your gums as well.

This appointment works from who you are now, which may not be who you were when your last chart was made.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Bring an updated list

    Write down current medications, recent health changes and any dental work done elsewhere, with dates if you can recall them.

  2. 02

    Get a current baseline

    Recording pocket depth, bleeding, recession and attachment gives a reference point, and images can be taken where they are called for.

  3. 03

    Revisit your recall interval

    Ask whether the spacing of your visits still suits your present risk, as this is not a fixed calendar for everyone.

Ask our team
Which health changes are relevant to my gums?

Diabetes, dry mouth and a number of medications are recognized factors. If you are uncertain about something, include it and let the clinic decide whether it matters.

Do I need another assessment if my gums were fine a few years ago?

Earlier findings describe your gums as they were then. Periodontitis can develop with little discomfort, so current measurements are more informative than an old result.

Could new dental work raise my risk?

It depends on the area. Restorations are not a problem in themselves, but plaque can collect where cleaning is awkward, so ask how to reach those spots.

Should another health professional be told about my gums?

Sometimes coordinated care helps with safer planning. If a medical condition is part of your picture, raise it at your visit so that you can talk about whether that makes sense.

Will I need to come more often now?

That is decided from your disease history, current stability and overall risk. Some people may see no change at all, whereas others might benefit from a closer interval.

How would a Southdale resident get started?

Call (204) 338-3003 or complete the online request, and say that you would like your gums reviewed. Please telephone about anything urgent, such as a sudden swelling.
