Adding up the trips into the city
Periodontics for St. Andrews Residents
Gum care rarely fits neatly into one appointment. If you are coming into Winnipeg from St. Andrews, here is what tends to add visits and what to ask about them.
Let's find a time
Request an appointment
Counting the appointments
Your measurements decide the number, not a standard schedule.
No one can give an honest visit count before your gums have been examined. Mild inflammation might call for a professional cleaning and a better plaque routine, while periodontitis in several areas could mean deep cleaning split across sections of the mouth, then a later appointment to see how the tissues responded.
St. Andrews lies outside the City of Winnipeg, so every appointment means setting aside part of your day. All of this care happens at our McPhillips Street clinic. Once your findings are known, you can ask how many visits look likely, what each one is for, and how far apart they might fall.

An exam sets the count
Gentle measuring around each tooth, along with images where appropriate, shows how much of your mouth is involved.
Sections can mean extra visits
Treating part of the mouth at a time leaves room for freezing, thorough work and your comfort.
Reassessment is its own trip
Tissues need time to respond, so checking the result of deep cleaning happens at a later appointment.

Say that planning matters to you
When you request your visit, note that you are coming in from outside the city and would like to understand the likely number of appointments.
- 02
Get the findings first
Your medical history, medications and any past gum care are reviewed along with pocket depths, bleeding, bite and tooth mobility. An estimate means more after that.

Ask for the sequence
Find out which step follows which, whether deep cleaning would be done in one sitting or several, and when reassessment would likely come.

Ask our teamCan you tell me the number of visits over the phone?
Not reliably, since that number rests on what an examination finds. Staff can talk through how a first appointment works and what information would help you prepare for it.
Why would deep cleaning be split up?
Working by section can allow enough time for local anaesthetic, careful instrument work and your comfort. Whether you need that depends on how many areas are affected and how deep they are.
Is the reassessment really necessary if my gums feel better?
Feeling better is encouraging but does not show what is happening below the gumline. Bleeding, pocket depths and tissue tone are compared with your starting findings to judge the response.
Could I end up needing more after that?
Possibly. Stable areas move into maintenance, while pockets that remain deep may need further care. Surgery is considered only for selected sites, after this reassessment and a discussion of your findings.
Do the appointments ever stop?
Active treatment does come to an end, but periodontitis is generally managed over time. Maintenance visits continue at an interval set around your history, your stability and your risk.
How should a St. Andrews resident begin?
Fill in the form on this page with your concern, or call (204) 338-3003. Phone instead of using the form if you have an urgent problem such as sudden swelling or severe pain.
