Maybe a former office recommended deep cleaning, or started it, and you’re now looking elsewhere. Your history still matters. Here’s what can help when you’re picking up where things left off.
Let's find a time
Changing dental offices is common enough, but it feels more complicated when you’re in the middle of something. Perhaps you’ve finished a few sections elsewhere. Perhaps you were given a plan and never started it. Either way, you may not know whether you’d have to begin again.
At our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg, your gums would be assessed as they are today, and any earlier information you can share adds useful background. If you’re a Kildonan Park resident in this position, here’s how scaling and root planing and the steps around it may look when you’re new to us.
Explore scaling & root planning
Earlier readings and images give the dentist something to compare today’s results against.
Your present condition is what any new recommendation will be based on.
Unfinished treatment is simply information, and worth mentioning at your first visit.
A plan written somewhere else tells us what was found at that time. Tissues change, so current findings are needed before any further treatment can be decided on.
If you can gather these from your former office, or ask how they could be transferred, they add helpful history.
Even with good records in hand, an in-person exam shows how things stand at this moment.
Your assessment might confirm the original plan, or it might point elsewhere. What’s appropriate now is determined by the dentist based on what your mouth shows today.
You won’t need to have every detail sorted out before getting in touch. The general progression usually goes like this.
Request your visitTell us what was recommended, what was finished and when. We’ll also ask about your medications and any health conditions.
Your gums are measured and any necessary images taken, so the present situation can be set alongside your older records.
If deep cleaning is appropriate, local anaesthetic is commonly used, and the planned root surfaces are cleaned in one visit or several.
Previous advice may be reviewed and adapted, with instructions shaped by your spaces, your sensitivity and your preferred tools.
Don’t put off a visit because your file is incomplete. Bring what you’ve got, tell us roughly what you remember, and ask about getting the remainder sent over.
Costs for treatment here would come from your current plan with us, so request a fresh estimate. Coverage depends on your plan, and any amounts already used are worth checking with your insurer.

Moving to a new office is a chance to say what did and didn’t work before. If an earlier appointment was uncomfortable, or if you felt rushed, that’s helpful for us to know.
Tell us how freezing went in earlier sections, since your history and preferences both matter here.
A difficult earlier visit is fair to mention, along with whatever you’d like handled differently.
Even if you’ve heard it all elsewhere, you’re welcome to ask us to explain things again.
A record that continues
New work can leave treated areas tender or sensitive to hot and cold, sometimes with a little bleeding. The degree will reflect how much was done, and generally eases as your tissues heal. Then comes the question of how things have changed.
Follow the plaque-control routine given to you here, and mention it if this differs from what you were doing.
Current readings get compared with your starting findings, and earlier records can add further context if you have them.
A personalized recall interval is set, and asking how it differs from your earlier schedule is a good idea.
Bleeding that doesn’t stop, swelling that increases, severe pain, or healing outside what you were told are all reasons to contact the clinic.

Ask our teamThat would depend on an assessment of your current findings. Tell us which sections were completed and when, and the dentist can determine what, if anything, is needed now.
Your gums will be assessed afresh, but that isn’t the same as repeating every treatment. Current findings and whatever records you have determine what’s recommended.
Give us the details of your previous clinic and ask about having your records transferred. Your earlier images can be useful, though new ones are sometimes needed.
Findings can change over time, and treatment planning relies on what’s present at your assessment. Ask us to explain any difference so that you understand the reason.
It could. Coverage depends on your plan, and earlier claims may be relevant. Check with your insurer, and bring your plan or CDCP details when you ask for an estimate.
Start by calling (204) 338-3003 or sending the form, and say you’re coming from another office. Care is at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg. The clinic will confirm your first visit.
Your previous office may have mentioned some of these. They’re worth reading, though what applies depends on what’s found now.
