A tooth that twinges on one particular chew can leave you unsure whether to worry. If you live in North End Winnipeg, have it looked at on McPhillips Street, where a crown may or may not turn out to be the answer.
Let's find a time
Pain on chewing, or a sharp reaction to something cold, can come from several places. A crack, deep decay, a failing filling, gum problems or an irritated nerve can all be involved, and they do not all call for the same treatment. Searching your symptoms online seldom sorts them out, because the same sensation can have different causes.
A crown makes sense when the tooth needs reinforcement and has a foundation able to carry one. It does not treat every cause of pain, and some teeth need other care first. To find out which applies, the tooth has to be examined, and that happens at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.

Treatment follows the diagnosis, so the source of your discomfort gets identified first.
For significant pain or swelling, call the clinic instead of sending the online form.
What sets it off, and how long it lasts, gives the dentist useful clues.
Your dentist narrows down what is going on by examining the tooth and, where appropriate, taking X-rays. Findings then point toward a suitable next step.
These are situations in which the tooth needs more support than a filling alone can reliably offer.
Other findings may mean the priority is treating the source of the problem, whether or not a crown comes later.
A crown does not settle an inflamed nerve by itself. Ask your dentist to explain what is causing the symptom and how each suggested treatment addresses it.
Most custom crowns are placed across at least two treatment visits. The planned material and your circumstances determine how the timing comes together.
Request your visitThe tooth, root, gum tissue and bite are examined, with X-rays as appropriate. Only then does the dentist confirm whether a crown is suitable.
Numbing makes the preparation work more comfortable, and the tooth is reduced to make room. Bite, shade and a scan or impression are then recorded.
You may go home with a temporary while the permanent crown is being produced. Keep sticky foods away from it and clean there gently.
When your crown is ready, its fit, contacts, bite and look are assessed. The dentist corrects anything needed and cements it.
It can be hard to pinpoint which tooth is hurting, and that is very common. Do not worry if you cannot. Simply share what you have noticed, because even partial details can help guide the examination.
Until the source is known, an estimate may be difficult to give. Once treatment options are clear, ask for one and bring your insurance or CDCP details.

If a tooth is already painful, the thought of having it examined can make you tense. Pointing out the spot and describing how it reacts can help the dentist take care around it.
Let the dentist know which touch, tap or temperature you are bracing against.
Treatment normally starts with local anesthetic, after which you may feel pressure or vibration.
Some sensitivity can persist for a short time, and it ought to improve as the area settles.
Once it is treated
Treatment should change how a tooth feels, but it is still worth paying attention afterward. If something seems different from what you were told to expect, let the clinic know.
Contact that seems too heavy on a new crown needs to be checked and adjusted, because the tooth should not simply be left to adapt.
Reactions that are not improving as expected are worth reporting, as the nerve can sometimes become inflamed before or after placement.
Brush thoroughly and clean between your teeth, since the natural tooth can decay at the crown’s margin.
Recommended examinations also help the dental team keep track of a tooth with a history of symptoms.

Helpful details about dental crowns in North End Winnipeg.
Ask our teamNot necessarily. Chewing pain can have several causes, and a crown only suits some of them. An examination is the way to find out what is causing it and what could help.
Several things can cause that, including decay, a crack, or an irritated nerve. Note how long the feeling lasts and tell the dentist, who can look for the source.
It depends on the source. A crown can reinforce a damaged tooth, but an inflamed nerve needs its own evaluation. Ask how your recommended treatment deals with the cause of your symptom.
In some cases, yes. Deep decay, cracks or earlier damage may inflame the nerve. Your dentist reviews the tooth and X-rays, then explains whether root canal therapy is part of the plan.
It is reasonable to ask for an examination, because a change in symptoms does not reveal what caused them. Tell the clinic what you felt and when it stopped.
Please phone (204) 338-3003 rather than using the form, so the clinic hears about it directly. For less pressing concerns, the online form lets you request an assessment on McPhillips Street.
Depending on what your examination finds, one of these treatments may be more relevant than a crown, or may need to happen first.
