Some people seem to have a new cavity every time they sit down in the dental chair. Castlebury Meadows residents prone to decay can read how that history affects crown planning at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
If you are the person who brushes dutifully and still hears about another cavity, a crown might sound like a way out. It is partly that. The crown itself will not decay, and it can rebuild a tooth weakened by repeated fillings. But the natural tooth at its edge can still develop a cavity, so a crown changes where to focus your efforts instead of removing the risk.
That makes your decay history useful to share. At Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, the dentist considers how much sound tooth is left, what has happened to this tooth so far and what the root and gums can support. Ask how your history affects the choice of repair, and what you could do to protect the margin in the years ahead.
Explore dental crowns
Decay spares the crown itself, while the natural tooth at its margin remains at risk.
A tooth repaired over and over may reach the point where a filling is no longer enough.
Tell the dentist how often new decay turns up, so advice can fit your situation.
Each new round of decay can leave less tooth to work with. These are the matters the dentist is likely to consider for a tooth with this kind of past.
An examination shows what the repairs have left behind, and X-rays may help reveal what cannot be seen from outside.
A crown only helps as much as the tooth around it stays healthy, so upkeep belongs in the planning.
Depending on what is found, a filling or onlay could still be the right size of repair, and it is reasonable to ask why one option is preferred.
A custom crown typically takes a preparation visit with detailed records and a placement visit later on. Material choice and your particular plan both influence the timing.
Request your visitYour dentist studies the tooth, root, gums and bite, with X-rays as appropriate, to confirm whether a crown has enough foundation.
Under local anesthetic, the tooth is shaped for its crown. A scan or impression then follows, as do a bite record and your shade details.
A temporary may provide cover until the crown is made. Until then, avoid sticky food and be gentle when you clean near it.
Your new crown is tried on so that fit, contacts, bite and appearance can be reviewed. It is fine-tuned, if necessary, before being cemented.
Decay can run in patterns, and there is no shame in having more than your share of cavities. A rough history of your fillings, and how often new ones have come up, gives the dentist something to work from.
Repeat dental work adds up, so ask about estimated costs. Bring your insurance or CDCP details to see how your plan applies to the recommended care.

Getting cavities in spite of your efforts can be discouraging, and a crown recommendation may feel like one more setback. It is fine to say so, and to ask what you can realistically do differently.
Share what you already do at home, and ask where it would be most useful to change something.
Preparation is usually done with local anesthetic. You might notice vibration, though pain is a reason to tell the dentist.
A tooth with a long decay history can feel sensitive for a time after preparation, which ought to improve.
Keeping decay away from the edge
New decay is among the factors that can shorten a crown’s useful life. Since the margin is where it tends to matter most, ask your dental team what routine and exam schedule suit someone with your history.
Spend time along the crown’s edge, where it meets the gum. Ask whether any preventive options would be useful in your case.
Cavities often begin in tight spaces, so keep up interdental cleaning around crowns and natural teeth alike.
Recommended visits are when the crown, its margin and your gums get reviewed, which matters more with your background.
If sensitivity is not improving, floss shreds at a margin, or food starts catching near a crown, contact the clinic to have it looked at.

Helpful details about dental crowns in Castlebury Meadows.
Ask our teamNot entirely. The crown does not decay, but the tooth beside and beneath its margin still can. Cleaning that edge and attending exams are how you look after it.
It is. Decay can develop at the margin and may then reach the tooth beneath. Regular exams let your dentist monitor the area along with the crown and gums.
It might be, if too little natural tooth remains for another filling to work. The dentist can tell you whether a filling, an onlay or a crown makes sense.
Several things can play a part, and that is worth asking about at your assessment. Share your routine, your diet and your medications so the dentist can consider them.
Possibly. Deep decay is among the reasons a nerve can become inflamed, before or after a crown is placed. The dentist can explain what they see in your tooth.
Not necessarily. Each tooth is assessed on what it needs, so one crown does not decide the rest. Ask what the dentist is watching elsewhere in your mouth.
