Have your teeth started looking longer, or has someone mentioned bone loss? Learn what is being measured, and what this treatment can and cannot change.
Let's find a time
Periodontitis can affect the attachment and bone that hold your teeth in place. Hearing that news naturally raises a big question: can it be stopped? Scaling and root planing aims to slow the disease by removing what is keeping the tissues inflamed.
For anyone in Seven Oaks wondering about their own situation, an assessment at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg is the place to begin. It gives you a baseline, and that baseline is what any later improvement gets measured against.
Explore scaling & root planning
Measurements and images capture where things stand today, so that change can be tracked.
You’ll hear what deep cleaning is designed to do, including the changes you might see in the mirror.
Medical history and medications are considered when treatment and freezing are planned.
A tooth depends on more than what shows when you smile. Here is what gets examined, and the part this treatment plays.
We examine the space around each tooth along with the bone beneath it, because the two together show how far disease has gone.
By clearing deposits from affected roots, treatment gives the tissues an opportunity to heal and supports healthier attachment.
Everyone’s response differs, and no one can promise a particular result. A dentist’s assessment determines whether this approach suits your gums.
If you have been dealing with gum concerns for many years, or have other health conditions to consider, these stages may look a little different for you.
Request your visitPast gum treatment, health conditions and every medication you take are all relevant. Tell us about anything recent, however unrelated it seems.
We record pocket depths, bleeding and calculus, and discuss dental images so that the state of the bone is clearer.
Affected sites are identified and grouped. Some people have them treated together, whereas others find sections more suitable.
Root surfaces are cleaned, commonly under local anaesthetic. A later reassessment shows how your tissues have responded to this first phase.
Your overall health can influence dental planning. Bring as much information as you can, and feel free to ask questions if you are unsure what is relevant.
Ask the clinic what your appointment may involve in terms of time and estimated cost. Your coverage, if any, depends on your plan and the services provided.
Spaces to talk and to wait at our clinic.
Local anaesthetic is often used for this treatment, and your health history helps guide how. Sensitive roots or a sore jaw are worth mentioning, too, so that the visit can be planned sensibly.
Areas where gums have already receded may feel sensitive, so let us know where these are.
Tell us about any change since your last visit, as this helps us plan how anaesthetic is used.
Holding your mouth open can be tiring, so speak up if you could use a rest along the way.
What change looks like
As inflammation fades, tissues may tighten and pocket readings may improve. That same change can make recession or spaces more noticeable, which is a surprise worth knowing about ahead of time.
Treated areas may be tender, sensitive to temperature or inclined to bleed slightly. Such effects depend on the extent of care and tend to fade.
Your follow-up lines up today’s bleeding, depth, tissue tone and symptoms with your baseline, showing which sites have improved.
Ongoing periodontal maintenance is what most treated patients need. It manages fresh buildup and catches any change at a site that needs further care.
Contact the clinic if bleeding won’t stop, swelling increases, pain becomes severe, or healing seems off course.

Helpful details about scaling & root planning in Seven Oaks.
Ask our teamThat is not what it is designed to do. Its purpose is to reduce inflammation and slow the disease. Tissues may firm up and readings may improve, and your reassessment will show how your own gums responded.
When swelling resolves, recession or spaces may become easier to see. Ask about this if appearance matters to you, ideally before treatment starts so that you know what might change.
Please do, including recent changes. Your health history is one of the things that shapes how local anaesthetic and treatment are planned, so a complete list is useful.
Sites that remain may need further care, and pocket reduction surgery is one option for selected deep pockets. Findings at your reassessment guide that discussion.
What most patients need afterward is periodontal maintenance, which monitors stability and controls new buildup. Any additional treatment would depend on how particular sites are doing.
