Worn edges or an achy jaw in the morning can make you wonder about clenching or grinding. If you live in Meadow Land, a routine check-up is a sensible place to bring that question.
Let's find a time
People tend to think of check-ups as a hunt for cavities, yet the exam also takes in your bite and the condition of your teeth and dental work. Flattened edges, small chips, or a filling that keeps failing are all worth pointing out, whatever the cause turns out to be.
Jaw tiredness can have more than one explanation, and only an assessment can start to sort that out. Patients from Meadow Land are seen at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, where your cleaning can be paired with a conversation about what you have noticed.
Explore check-ups & cleanings
Shortened or flattened teeth, new chips, and morning jaw aches are all worth reporting.
Your dentist looks at your teeth, bite, and earlier dental work before forming any view.
Your cleaning still takes care of plaque and tartar, along with advice for home.
Wear on the teeth is mainly a topic for the dentist, while your hygienist may spot things too, since they spend so long looking closely at each tooth.
This assessment considers how your teeth are doing, along with what you describe feeling in your jaw and mouth.
While removing buildup, your hygienist has a close-up view of your teeth and can mention what they observe.
A worn tooth doesn’t automatically mean you grind, and grinding isn’t the only possible reason for a sore jaw. Your dentist can tell you what the exam does and doesn’t show.
A typical appointment could go something like this, adjusted according to your age, oral health, and what you are hoping to find out.
Request your visitShare when your jaw feels tired, which teeth seem to be changing, and whether anyone has heard you grinding. We’ll also go over any medications and your general health.
The dentist examines your teeth and bite, and discusses any records that may help. You will hear what they can see and how confident they are about it.
Your hygienist removes buildup and talks about which cleaning fits your gums. If more hygiene time is needed, that may be arranged separately.
This is where to ask what options exist if wear is a concern, how it might be watched, and when you should return for another look.
Grinding often goes on during sleep, so you may have little direct evidence of it. Taking a few notes about your mornings, and about any times you catch yourself clenching in the day, gives your dentist more to go on.
A cracked or broken tooth or sudden pain shouldn’t wait for a routine visit. Call the clinic to describe what happened.

If your jaw is already sore, keeping it open during an appointment may bother you. Bring this up at the start, so you and your team can talk through how to make the visit easier.
A quick rest lets you close your mouth and relax your jaw, so agree on how you will signal for one.
If a certain side or joint hurts, say so before work starts, so your team knows from the beginning.
Worn surfaces can react during a cleaning, so tell your hygienist which teeth you are concerned about.
Once you’ve been examined
A single appointment gives you a snapshot of your teeth. What makes it useful is having something to compare with later, so be sure you know what your dentist would like you to watch.
Ask how your dentist intends to track wear on your teeth over time, and at what point it would matter.
If grinding or wear does appear to be a concern, ask what approaches could apply to you and why.
Regular brushing and cleaning between your teeth continue to matter, so hold on to your hygienist’s advice.
A new chip, or a jaw that’s getting more painful, is a good reason to phone before your next planned visit.

Ask our teamYou may not, as it can happen while you are asleep. Possible clues include worn edges and morning jaw tiredness, though these have other explanations as well. Your dentist can look for signs at your exam.
Yes. Your teeth, bite, and existing work are already part of the routine exam. Mentioning your concern means your dentist knows to discuss it with you specifically.
Not always, and some wear can build up gradually. Your dentist can assess how yours looks and whether it is something to treat, watch, or simply be aware of.
Tell your team about it beforehand, as holding your mouth open may be tiring. You can agree on a way to ask for breaks and discuss what would help you get through the appointment.
Definitely. Repeated problems with a restoration are worth having looked at, and your dentist can examine it and your bite. If it has broken or fallen out, call the clinic instead of waiting.
It can be one possibility among several. Let your dentist know which teeth react, and to what, so the exam can look into the likely cause and what might help.
