That quick zing from something cold can be easy to shrug off, until it keeps coming back. Meadows West residents can have a newly sensitive tooth examined at our Winnipeg clinic on McPhillips Street.
Let's find a time
A new reaction to cold doesn’t come with a label. It may trace back to decay or to a worn or damaged area, and a number of other causes are possible as well. A filling may help when tooth damage lies behind it, but that has to be established first.
So your visit to Winnipeg North Dental starts with finding out what’s actually happening. Once the source is clearer, you’ll hear whether a repair makes sense, whether something else fits better, or whether the tooth simply needs watching.

Several things can produce the same sting, so assessment comes before any repair.
Rebuilding a damaged spot may reduce the sensitivity it was causing.
What sets it off, and for how long, gives your dentist something to work with.
It’s tempting to assume that sensitivity means a cavity, or that it means nothing. Neither assumption is safe, and the examination is there to replace guesses with findings.
Your description of the reaction points the examination in a direction. Suitable records may then add detail you can’t get from looking alone.
Where damage is the cause, the repair replaces what’s been lost. It’s worth asking how much relief is realistic for your particular tooth.
Sensitivity might have a cause that a filling won’t address. In that case, your dentist can explain what was found and which next step seems more suitable.
Depending on what’s found, treatment might follow at a later appointment or might not be needed. If a direct filling does go ahead, this is the general sequence.
Request your visitTell us which foods or temperatures set the tooth off. The examination and any fitting records help narrow down what’s responsible.
A sensitive tooth is worth mentioning before numbing begins. Local anesthetic is used when appropriate, and the tooth is kept clean and dry.
Decay or weakened enamel gets taken out, and tooth-coloured material goes back in layers. Each is hardened before the next is added.
Your tooth is polished, then we watch how your teeth meet. Anything that feels high or uneven can be adjusted before you go.
Your memory of the sting will be sharper if you jot down a few details. There’s no need for anything formal, and no need to go looking for a reaction on purpose.
A filling may fall under your plan, or it may not, so ask us about estimates. Coverage and your own share vary between insurers and under CDCP.

After a few sharp surprises, you might expect the air or water in a dental visit to set the tooth off. Let us know, since it’s the sort of thing we’d want to hear before starting.
Point out the sensitive spot at the start, so it’s on everyone’s mind from the first moment.
Ask what you’re likely to feel. Vibration or pressure is more typical than sharpness once a tooth is numb.
If anything hurts or you need to stop, signal it, and the team can pause and check how you’re doing.
Once it’s repaired
A repaired tooth may be a little reactive at first, which can feel discouraging if sensitivity is what brought you in. What counts most is the direction it’s going.
Wait to chew until you can feel your mouth again, to avoid biting your lip, cheek or tongue. Hot drinks can also fool you.
Short-lived reactions to temperature or pressure should be getting better, not worse. Worsening discomfort means it’s time to let us know.
Your brushing, your between-teeth cleaning and your examinations all help in spotting any new change around that tooth.
Call if the sting persists beyond what was discussed, if it gets stronger, or if the tooth feels high when you close.

Helpful details about dental fillings in Meadows West.
Ask our teamNo. Decay is one possibility, but wear, a crack or an older restoration may also be involved, and there are other causes too. That’s why having it examined is more useful than guessing.
A filling can reduce sensitivity caused by tooth damage. Whether it will in your situation depends on the source, so ask your dentist what result seems realistic once the tooth has been assessed.
An on-and-off reaction is still worth reporting. Tell us how often it happens and what triggers it, since the pattern can help guide the examination.
Many people find it easier to avoid whatever sets a tooth off, though that doesn’t address the reason behind it. If it’s getting worse or becoming painful, phone the clinic.
Brief sensitivity to temperature or pressure may follow treatment, and it should gradually settle. If it’s significant, or lasting longer than you were told to expect, get in touch with us.
