When a tooth has had to come out because of its gums, your attention naturally turns to the ones left. That concern makes sense. Here’s how your remaining teeth can be evaluated, and where deep cleaning may fit in.
Let's find a time
Losing a tooth is unsettling, particularly if it happened because of periodontitis. It’s reasonable to ask whether others are at risk, and the honest answer is that it depends on the findings around each one. An assessment can show which areas are affected, how deep the pockets run, and what the bone looks like on images.
If those findings support it, scaling and root planing is a non-surgical way of cleaning the root surfaces inside affected pockets, with the aim of settling inflammation. Nobody can promise how an individual tooth will do. Still, Parkview Pointe residents can come to our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg to get a clear picture of where things stand.
Explore scaling & root planning
Readings and images help show the condition of the gum and bone around every remaining tooth.
Calming active inflammation is often a topic to discuss before deciding how to fill a gap.
You’ll hear what your findings suggest, with no promises about how any tooth will respond.
Periodontitis can affect several teeth differently. So the first job is to map it out, and the second is to treat whichever areas the mapping shows need it.
Your dentist builds an overall picture of your gums, instead of focusing on where the missing tooth used to be.
In diagnosed areas, deep cleaning removes plaque, calculus and bacterial deposits that daily brushing and floss can’t reach.
Scaling and root planing can’t restore a tooth that has been lost, and it isn’t a replacement option. Your dentist decides with you whether it suits your situation.
Everybody’s mouth is different, particularly after an extraction. Your own visits may vary, but here’s the usual sequence.
Request your visitExplain which tooth came out and why, as far as you know, along with your medications and health history.
Measuring and any needed images show where periodontitis is active, and whether bone has changed around your other teeth.
Once you’re frozen, specialized instruments work through the pockets identified in your plan, in one or several sittings.
A gap changes how you brush and clean around neighbouring teeth, so you’ll want guidance that reflects this new layout.
You may not know exactly when the tooth came out or what was recorded. That’s all right. Any detail you can recall, or the name of the office that did the extraction, can add context to your assessment.
Cost depends on how many areas need treating, and your plan’s terms decide what’s covered. Ask for an estimate once your findings are known, and ask separately about any replacement options.

After losing a tooth, an examination can bring on some real dread about what else might be found. You can say that aloud. Let us know how much detail you’d like, and whether you want time with the results before you weigh any decisions.
Tell us if you’d prefer an overview first, then the tooth-by-tooth details afterward.
Point out any tooth that feels different so that it can be included in the assessment.
Being worried about losing more teeth is a fair thing to bring up with your dentist.
Looking after your remaining teeth
After deep cleaning, gums may feel tender, teeth may react to temperature, and light bleeding can occur. The extent varies with how much was treated, and things should generally ease as the tissues start to recover. Tissue then gets time to respond before a follow-up evaluation.
Follow the method you’ve been given for the teeth next to the space, using the recommended tools.
If you’re chewing more on one side, softer choices can spare any tender area for a short time.
Reassessment shows where gums are stable. Regular maintenance usually follows, to monitor those areas and control new buildup.
Let the clinic know about bleeding that doesn’t stop, swelling that’s getting worse, severe pain, or a concern that doesn’t match your instructions.

Ask our teamNo one can say from a website, and your dentist can’t promise an outcome either. An assessment gives you real information about each tooth, and that’s what any recommendation rests on.
Your findings decide the order, so bring it up at your assessment. Gum health is commonly considered when replacement options are being talked about.
Neighbouring teeth may be checked closely, as periodontitis can involve more than one tooth. Measurements and images help show how each is doing.
Gums can become firmer as inflammation falls, but that doesn’t mean a particular tooth will tighten. Have it examined, and ask your dentist what’s realistic.
Perhaps not. A tooth can be removed for many reasons, so periodontal findings around your other teeth are what determine whether deep cleaning is needed.
Complete the form here, or phone (204) 338-3003, and mention the tooth you’ve lost. Your assessment takes place at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg, and we’ll follow up to confirm.
