When chewing on one side turns into a careful negotiation, your tooth deserves some attention. Kildonan Park residents can have pressure pain assessed at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
Discomfort that shows up under pressure can have several explanations. Decay and a crack are two; a filling sitting too high is another. Since each one leads somewhere different, a filling may or may not be the answer for your tooth.
That’s why pressure pain deserves an examination instead of a wait-and-see approach. Winnipeg North Dental can look into which tooth is responsible and explain what’s likely going on. If you’re in significant pain or something seems urgent, call rather than sending a form.

Biting pain doesn’t point to one single cause, so assessment comes first.
A filling suits some causes, while others may call for different care.
The appointment form isn’t the route for a tooth that can’t wait.
It’s tempting to assume the worst, or to assume nothing at all. An examination works from what can actually be found, along with how you describe the pain.
Pressure discomfort may relate to any of the following, as well as to concerns that have nothing to do with fillings.
When damage is limited and enough healthy tooth remains, a direct repair is often suitable. More extensive problems may call for a different plan.
No recommendation can be made from a description alone. Bite forces on the tooth will be weighed along with its condition when the options are explained.
If a filling turns out to suit your tooth, the process is usually a straightforward one, even though details vary. Here’s the general order of events.
Request your visitTell us when it hurts and how it has changed. Examination and appropriate records then look for decay, cracks or a restoration in difficulty.
Local anesthetic is used when appropriate, so you’re more likely to feel pressure or vibration than anything sharp. The tooth is also kept clean and dry.
Decayed or weakened portions are taken out, keeping as much sound tooth as possible. Composite is built up in hardened layers to recreate the contours.
This stage matters a great deal to a tooth that hurt on biting. We check how your teeth come together and can adjust anything high or uneven.
Knowing what kind of food brings it on, or whether it hurts as you bite or as you release, may give the examination a useful head start. Don’t worry if you can’t identify the tooth.
Finances needn’t wait until the end. Ask about estimates and how benefits may apply, keeping in mind that coverage depends on your plan and the care provided.

Coming in with a sore tooth is different from a routine visit, and it’s normal to feel apprehensive. Tell us what’s been hurting before anything begins so it can be taken into account.
Letting us know where it’s sore means you won’t have to brace for a surprise.
Hearing what’s coming next can make the appointment feel more manageable.
We can pause whenever you say something isn’t comfortable, then check on how you’re doing.
Chewing again
You’ll get instructions suited to your treatment. In general, pay particular attention to how your bite feels once normal sensation has returned.
Feeling needs to come back before chewing is sensible, because numb tissue is easy to bite. Be careful with hot drinks as well.
A numb mouth can’t give you an accurate picture. Should the tooth touch before the others or still hurt when chewing, let us know.
Mild pressure or temperature sensitivity should gradually fade. Recommended examinations, brushing and cleaning between teeth then help look after the restoration.
Soreness that’s worsening instead of easing after a filling is a reason to get in touch.

Helpful details about dental fillings in Kildonan Park.
Ask our teamA crack is one possibility, alongside decay, a high filling and other concerns. Examination and suitable records help distinguish between them.
It depends on where the crack runs and how much strong tooth remains. A significantly weakened tooth may be better supported by a crown, and the dentist can explain the reasoning.
It could. A restoration sitting slightly high can make a tooth uncomfortable when chewing, so please call us. An adjustment may be possible after your bite has been checked.
Occasional pain is still a symptom worth having assessed sooner rather than later. If it becomes more intense or you’re concerned, phone the clinic instead of waiting.
Your description and the examination work together, sometimes along with appropriate X-rays. You don’t need to identify the exact tooth yourself.
Pain that feels urgent calls for a phone call to (204) 338-3003. For a milder, occasional ache, you may use this page’s form, and our McPhillips Street clinic will follow up.
