You’ve held on to your natural teeth this long and want to give them proper support. See how deep cleaning aims to slow gum disease and what ongoing care can look like later in life.
Let's find a time
After decades of use, teeth and gums often carry a history: old fillings, a crown or two, perhaps gums that have slowly changed. If keeping what you have matters to you, the health of the tissue and bone holding those teeth deserves your attention.
Scaling and root planing is meant to slow the progression of gum disease by clearing root surfaces inside periodontal pockets. No treatment can promise how long a tooth will last, but residents of Old Kildonan can have an honest assessment at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg.
Explore scaling & root planning
Treatment targets the infection and inflammation affecting attachment around your own teeth.
Let us know what’s been done over the years, as older restorations are part of your mouth’s story.
Aids are suggested with your hands and habits in mind, not based on an ideal routine.
A tooth depends on the gum and bone around it. When periodontitis affects these tissues, the aim is to reduce what is driving the inflammation and keep watch over what remains.
Periodontitis can gradually affect attachment and bone, often with deposits hidden on the roots beneath the gums.
Careful instrumentation clears the affected roots, giving your tissues the opportunity to recover around a cleaner surface.
Outcomes depend on many factors, and teeth can’t be promised to last indefinitely. Assessment with the dentist will show what your own situation suggests.
Having some health history and dental history is normal at any age. Your appointments start by taking stock of both, and move forward from there.
Request your visitWe look over your medical background, medications and past dental work, and listen to what you want from your teeth.
Measurements around each tooth and any needed images help show which ones are affected and how much support remains.
Depending on the extent, roots may be treated at one sitting or by sections, generally with local anaesthetic for comfort.
Instruction focuses on what you can comfortably manage at home, including around crowns, bridges and other dental work.
You don’t have to remember every filling. A rough idea of major work, along with what you’ve noticed lately, is plenty to begin with, and we can fill in the rest during your exam.
To plan your schedule and finances, ask about time and an estimate when you call. They’re influenced by the areas treated, and your coverage depends on your plan.
A treatment room, along with the waiting area.
A stiff neck, a sore back or a dislike of lying flat are all worth mentioning. These things aren’t a nuisance to us, and they’re useful to know when we’re discussing how your visits might go.
Point out neck, back or joint discomfort before we begin, and ask what can be arranged.
Your health background is one of the factors considered in how freezing is used.
Sections of the mouth can be treated separately where that suits your needs and your stamina.
A commitment for years to come
Short-term soreness, sensitivity or a little bleeding may follow treatment and should generally settle with healing. After that, the longer task is to keep monitoring your gums and controlling new buildup.
As swelling diminishes, spaces and recession can be more apparent, including near restorations. Ask how to clean these changed areas.
The state of your gums is measured against the starting findings, showing which areas are stable and which aren’t.
Most treated patients will continue with maintenance, at intervals chosen to reflect how their own gums are doing.
Reach out to the clinic if you have uncontrolled bleeding, growing swelling, severe pain, or a concern outside your instructions. It’s better to ask than to wonder.

Ask our teamAge alone doesn’t answer that question. What matters is your findings and overall health, so an assessment is the sensible way to learn whether this treatment is appropriate for you.
We can’t promise that. Treatment aims to control inflammation and slow the disease, but what’s possible for a particular tooth depends on the support it has left. Ask us about any tooth that concerns you.
Let us know about existing dental work so we can look at those areas during your exam. Your home-care guidance can also take it into account, because these spots may need particular cleaning aids.
Tell us what’s difficult. We tailor cleaning advice to your spaces, your sensitivity and the tools that are practical for you, so it needn’t be regular floss.
Recall timing is personalized. Your reassessment helps set a maintenance interval, which reflects how stable your gums are and how well buildup is being controlled.
