Someone used the words deep cleaning and you want to know what they mean. Here is how this gum treatment works, for patients from across the city.
Let's find a time
The phrase deep cleaning makes this treatment sound like an ordinary hygiene visit with extra effort. It is actually therapy for periodontitis, aimed at root surfaces sitting inside the pockets that form between a tooth and its gum.
Wherever in the city you live, a fair first question for Winnipeg North Dental is: do I really need this? The answer depends on measurements and images, so we start by showing you what was found and which teeth are involved.
Explore scaling & root planning
Find out why treatment inside a gum pocket has a different purpose from a preventive visit.
Go over your pocket readings and dental images, then ask whatever is on your mind.
Reassessment and long-term gum care follow the treatment itself, so it never simply ends at the last section.
Both involve removing buildup, which explains the mix-up. Where the instruments work, and why, is what separates them.
This visit suits a generally healthy mouth or mild inflammation, with attention above and around the gumline.
Here the work moves beneath the gums, onto root surfaces in the specific areas where periodontitis has been diagnosed.
A dentist’s assessment decides which of these suits you. Plenty of mouths need only the first, and the findings will show where yours stands.
No single sign settles the matter. Several findings are weighed together before anything is scheduled.
Request your visitMaybe it was bleeding, or a comment at a past dental visit. We begin there, along with your health history and current medications.
Gentle pocket measurements show depth and any bleeding. Dental images can reveal whether bone around your teeth has been affected.
If treatment is appropriate, we point out which teeth need it and whether one visit or several sections would make more sense.
Specialized instruments clean the planned root surfaces. Afterward, you get home-care advice shaped around the spaces you have and the tools you find practical.
If the term came up at another clinic, tell us what you were told. It gives us a starting point, even though our own assessment guides what we recommend.
When you book, ask how much time to set aside and what the estimated cost looks like. Both vary with how many areas need care.
Reception and a treatment room at our clinic.
Local anaesthetic is commonly part of this treatment, so the root surfaces can be cleaned thoroughly and without hurry. Tell us what concerns you, and we can talk it through first.
The amount and the areas numbed depend on your treatment plan, your health history and what you prefer.
Want each instrument and step described before it happens? Just say so at the start.
Treating one part of the mouth at a time can leave room for anaesthetic, careful cleaning and your own comfort.
When the treatment is done
Results are judged only once the tissues have had time to respond. Expect some tenderness, temperature sensitivity or light bleeding at first; these vary with how much was treated and should generally settle as healing begins.
Softer foods can help for a little while if chewing feels tender. Keep cleaning the treated areas the way you were shown.
At your reassessment, we set bleeding, pocket depths, tissue tone, plaque control and symptoms against the original findings.
Most people treated for periodontitis go on to periodontal maintenance, with timing set for them individually, to keep new buildup under control.
Call the clinic about persistent bleeding, worsening swelling, severe pain, or anything that doesn’t match your instructions.

Helpful details about scaling & root planning in Winnipeg.
Ask our teamThey are different treatments. A regular cleaning is preventive, while scaling and root planing treats root surfaces inside pockets where periodontitis has been diagnosed. Your own findings show which applies.
Several things are read together: bleeding on gentle measurement, deeper pockets, calculus below the gumline and changes in supporting bone seen on dental images.
Not necessarily. Treatment is planned for the affected areas. How many there are, and how deep the pockets run, also influences whether it is done in one sitting or in sections.
Unnatural smoothness is not the aim. The point is to carefully clear deposits and contaminated material, giving inflamed tissue a chance to heal against a cleaner surface.
Most people treated for periodontitis move to periodontal maintenance instead, which watches for stability and manages new buildup. The interval is decided after your gums are reassessed.
