If gum problems or lost teeth keep turning up among your relatives, you may have wondered whether the same is waiting for you. Family history can be worth mentioning, yet your own gums are what get measured and treated.
Let's find a time
Family patterns can make you watchful, or fatalistic, or both. Genetics may be one factor in gum disease, but it isn’t a forecast. Plenty of other things affect gum health, and whatever your relatives have been through, a dental exam looks at what’s happening in your own mouth right now.
Stonewall is outside the City of Winnipeg, and residents who choose us come in to the McPhillips Street clinic for care. If your findings show periodontitis, scaling and root planing is the usual deep-cleaning treatment for it. If they don’t, you’ve still gained a useful baseline to compare against in future years.
Explore scaling & root planning
Even a rough account of what relatives experienced can be worth adding to your history.
Your readings give future exams something concrete to compare with, whatever today’s results show.
Your family’s past doesn’t decide your treatment. Measurements and images taken of your gums do.
You can’t change your relatives’ dental records, but you can learn your own status. Here’s how an assessment leads toward treatment, should it turn out to be needed.
Several findings are weighed together, as gum disease isn’t diagnosed from family history or a lone symptom.
With a periodontitis diagnosis, deposits and contaminated material are carefully removed from affected roots so inflammation can settle.
Family history is simply background information. Suitability for treatment gets decided through your individual assessment with the dentist, so please don’t assume the outcome either way.
Not everyone reaches every stage below. Depending on your findings, you might stay with routine care or move on to treatment.
Request your visitAlong with your medications and health conditions, share what you know of gum problems among your relatives.
Gentle measurements, and images when needed, build a clear record of how things stand at this moment.
Planned roots are cleaned under the gums with instruments made for the job, commonly after local anaesthetic has been given.
Reassessment shows how tissues responded. Stable sites then enter maintenance, with an interval personalized to your results.
If it’s easy to ask, find out roughly what relatives were told about their gums. Don’t worry if you only have secondhand information, or none. Mention whatever you know, along with what you’ve noticed yourself.
Any fees would depend on what the exam finds, so an estimate can wait until then. Your plan’s terms determine whatever coverage applies.
A bright consultation room and a treatment room’s pale blue chair.
Having watched relatives struggle can leave you reluctant to find out. Tell us if that’s where you are. Hearing your own results, whatever they are, tends to give you more to work with than imagining them.
Ask to have your readings described in everyday terms, and ask again if something isn’t clear.
When deep cleaning goes ahead, your anaesthetic plan reflects your health history and preferences.
If relatives’ tooth loss worries you, ask what your own findings suggest, tooth by tooth.
If you’re treated
Tenderness, temperature sensitivity and light bleeding can follow deep cleaning. Their degree depends on how much was treated, and they should generally settle once tissues begin healing. For someone with a family history, the regular monitoring that comes next can be especially reassuring.
Use your recommended tools and methods on treated areas, including when they feel a bit sore.
If chewing is tender, stick with gentler meals briefly so that treated gums stay undisturbed.
New buildup and changes in stability are tracked over time, at intervals that suit your findings.
If you experience persistent bleeding, swelling that’s getting worse, severe pain, or a concern falling outside your instructions, call the clinic.

Helpful details about scaling & root planning in Stonewall.
Ask our teamGenetics may play a part in some people, but it’s one factor among many. A family pattern is worth mentioning, and it doesn’t tell anyone what’s in your own mouth.
We can’t predict that, and neither can your family tree. An exam can show the current condition of your gums and teeth, so you and the dentist can discuss what it means.
A check-up is reasonable, especially when you’ve been wondering. Periodontal findings such as depth and bone levels aren’t something you’d necessarily feel for yourself.
Regular dental visits are worthwhile at any age. If you’re concerned about family patterns and your kids, bring it up at their own appointments with their dental provider.
Ask the dentist after your exam, because timing would be based on your own findings. Your baseline readings can make later comparisons more meaningful.
