A sore back, a stiff jaw, or plain restlessness can make time in a dental chair the real obstacle. Deep cleaning can often be divided up, and that’s well worth raising early.
Let's find a time
For some people, the difficult part of dental treatment isn’t fear at all. It’s lying still with your mouth open while your neck stiffens or your jaw starts to ache. If that’s your experience, hearing that a treatment takes careful time may have you worried.
Depending on how many areas are affected, scaling and root planing may be divided into sections of the mouth. Scotia Heights residents can bring up these physical concerns at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg, so they become part of the discussion about how care is arranged.
Explore scaling & root planning
Treating the mouth by sections is a recognized option, based on what your findings require.
Tell us early how your neck, back or jaw tends to behave during appointments.
Dividing the treatment doesn’t lower the standard for each root surface being cleaned.
Thorough work on root surfaces needs adequate time. That doesn’t always mean one long sitting. Your number of affected areas and their depth influence how the visits may be organized.
A section is simply one portion of your mouth treated during a visit, with the freezing and cleaning focused on that portion.
Your findings come first, and they’re weighed along with what you’ve told us about your comfort.
Tell us about any condition that makes reclining or keeping your mouth open difficult. Whether a particular arrangement suits you is something to work out with the dentist after your assessment.
Everyone’s schedule of visits is different. This is the general shape it can take when the work is broken into parts.
Request your visitShare what tends to get sore during long appointments, together with your health history and the medications you’re on.
After your gums are measured, we look at the number of areas involved, then discuss how many visits that could mean.
That visit’s area is usually frozen with local anaesthetic, then cleaned below the gumline with specialized instruments.
Let us know how that appointment went for your body. You’ll also get home-care instructions suited to what’s been treated.
You’re the expert on what your body tolerates. If you’ve had trouble in past appointments, describing it now can help us talk through what might be workable.
Splitting treatment can affect how visits are scheduled and how you plan your time. Ask about this, and about cost estimates and your coverage, once your sections are known.
The front counter at reception, and a blue upholstered bench.
Numbing eases what happens around the tooth, but won’t help a stiff neck. Please ask what can be done about positioning, and tell us during treatment if you’re getting sore.
If you know you’ll want to rest your jaw, ask ahead of time how that can work.
Letting us know while it’s still mild gives us a better chance to respond.
Anaesthetic use depends on your plan, your history and what you prefer, so ask what to expect.
Between sections and beyond
When treatment comes in stages, one area may be tender or temperature sensitive while another hasn’t yet been touched. Light bleeding is possible too. All of this varies with the extent of the work, and should generally settle during healing.
Treated sections need the home care you were shown, even while you’re waiting on your remaining appointments.
Once the tissues have had time to respond, a reassessment measures your results against where you began.
Recall timing is personalized, and it’s fine to bring up your physical limits again when these are booked.
Reach the clinic by phone for bleeding that won’t let up, swelling that’s getting worse, severe pain, or a concern your instructions don’t cover.

Helpful details about scaling & root planning in Scotia Heights.
Ask our teamIt may be. Care can be completed in one visit or by sections of the mouth, depending on the number and depth of affected areas. Mention your concerns so they can be included in the discussion.
Tell us about it during your assessment so we can go over your needs. Whether and how treatment can be arranged around your jaw depends on your findings and health history.
Please ask, ideally before we start, so you know how it would work. And if something is bothering you partway through, say so at that moment.
Sections are one recognized way of allowing enough time for anaesthetic and thorough instrumentation. How your work is arranged should allow each planned surface to be treated properly.
Reassessment comes after the tissues have had time to respond to treatment. Ask how that timing would apply to your own sequence of appointments.
