Periodontal deep cleaning, provided at our clinic in the north part of the city. Here is what happens, in the order it happens.
Let's find a time
We are at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, in north Winnipeg, and that is where this treatment takes place. If periodontitis has been diagnosed, scaling and root planing cleans the root surfaces hidden inside your periodontal pockets.
Two questions tend to matter most at the start: is it needed, and how many appointments will it take? An assessment answers the first. The second depends on how many areas are affected and how deep those pockets are.
Explore scaling & root planning
Assessment, treatment and reassessment are all carried out at the McPhillips Street clinic.
Find out early if your care will be finished in a single visit or spread across parts of the mouth.
Starting measurements give us something concrete to check against when you return.
The two names describe connected tasks on the same root surfaces. Both happen below the gumline, usually with local anaesthetic.
This part removes what has collected on the root, including deposits that have hardened and can no longer be brushed away.
Attention then turns to the root surface, smoothing it where needed so inflammation can settle and tissue can heal.
Whether this is right for you comes down to assessment with the dentist. Not every case of gum inflammation calls for it.
The order below is typical. How long each stage takes, and how many sittings you need, will differ from person to person.
Request your visitThe number and depth of affected areas tell us whether one visit will do or whether sections of the mouth should be booked separately.
Local anaesthetic is the usual choice here, which lets the root surfaces be treated properly at a steady pace.
Each planned root surface is worked on in turn until the deposits and bacterial buildup there have been dealt with.
You leave knowing which cleaning technique and tools to use on treated areas, chosen with your particular spaces and sensitivity in mind.
A few minutes of planning makes a multi-visit treatment simpler. Knowing your schedule helps when several sections have to be arranged.
Appointment length and cost depend on how much is being treated. Ask for both when you book, along with any questions about coverage.
Where you check in and wait at McPhillips Street.
Most treatment visits involve local anaesthetic, though how much and where varies. If tenderness or nerves are on your mind, raise them before we start so they can be factored in.
Your preferences count alongside your health history and treatment plan when freezing is decided.
Name any tooth or area that already feels sensitive, so that it gets extra attention.
Feel free to ask for a pause partway through; a hand signal agreed in advance can make that easy.
The days and weeks after
Tenderness, sensitivity to temperature and slight bleeding can all follow treatment. They differ with its extent and generally ease once the tissues start healing.
Stick to the plaque control you were shown. Choose softer foods temporarily if chewing is tender, and use sensitivity products only as directed.
After healing time, you return so we can check where inflammation improved and whether any site remains hard to maintain.
Stable areas go into periodontal maintenance on a personal schedule. Pockets that remain may need further care, which we would explain at that point.
Bleeding that persists, swelling that grows, severe pain or an unexpected problem: please phone rather than wait.

There is no fixed number. Some people finish in one sitting, and others have sections of the mouth done separately so there is enough time for anaesthetic and thorough work.
Often, yes. Local anaesthetic is commonly used, with the amount and location shaped by your plan, health history and preferences.
A pocket that remains may need further care. We would go over the findings and options with you at that appointment, including whether another treatment should be considered.
Yes. A reassessment checks how the tissues responded, and most patients then continue with periodontal maintenance to keep watch on stability.
Depending on your findings, one of these may come up in conversation. Each one is explained on its own page, and an assessment determines what applies.
