How do I ask about bonding upkeep if I live in Sinclair Park?+
Use this page’s form or call (204) 338-3003 and mention that upkeep is your main concern. Any assessment would be held at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, after the clinic has sorted out a time with you.
Do I need a special toothpaste for bonded teeth?+
Normal brushing is what the clinic’s guidance calls for, and no particular product is required by default. Very abrasive pastes may be something to ask about, since you’d want to keep the polish on the resin.
Can I floss around bonding?+
Yes, and you should. Cleaning between teeth helps protect the natural enamel beside the composite. If the floss keeps catching, have the spot examined instead of avoiding it.
Can a tooth still get a cavity under or beside the resin?+
The enamel next to a restoration remains natural tooth, so decay can still develop along that edge. That’s why the margins deserve attention at home and during examinations.
What can be done when bonding gets rough?+
A rough or dull surface can sometimes be improved by professional refinishing, without having to redo the whole area. The dentist can tell you whether that would be suitable for yours.
Does bonding make my gums more likely to have problems?+
A well-contoured addition shouldn’t be hard to clean, though too much bulk can encourage plaque to gather. This is one reason a large gap may not suit resin, and it’s worth talking through at your assessment.
