So often, the question you meant to ask arrives once you’re back home. Middlechurch residents heading to our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg can write theirs down beforehand, starting with the ones on this page.
Let's find a time
Sitting in a dental chair isn’t the easiest place to remember what you wanted to know. A short written list takes the pressure off, and it means a trip into the city from outside Winnipeg won’t end with something left unasked.
We’ve grouped some useful questions by when they tend to matter: before you agree to treatment, while the work is under way, and after it’s done. Cross out what doesn’t apply to you, and add your own. No question about your tooth is too basic.
Explore dental fillings
Find out what was seen, why treatment is suggested and what else could be done.
Agree on how you’d let the team know that you need them to pause.
Confirm what’s normal, when to eat and at what point you should call.
Each one here relates to something a dentist can answer for your particular tooth. General information can only take you so far, and your own situation is what counts.
These give you a clearer sense of the problem, and why this repair is being suggested for it. Answers may depend on the tooth’s location, size of repair and bite.
These cover how treatment fits into your life. They’re particularly useful if you’ve arranged your day around coming into Winnipeg.
If you’re short on time, begin with whichever question worries you most. The rest can often be answered as treatment is explained.
Most direct fillings pass through similar stages, even though the specifics change by tooth and material. Each one offers a natural opening for a question.
Request your visitThe dentist confirms the tooth and what’s proposed. Now’s a good time for your list, since you can still speak freely and nothing has been numbed.
Once anesthetic is used where appropriate, the tooth gets isolated and damage is removed. Conversation is limited here, so agree on a signal first.
Composite is layered, hardened and given contours that can be kept clean. There’s little for you to do at this stage except keep still and raise a hand if needed.
Polishing wraps up the work, then your teeth are brought together. Ask about aftercare too, while you’re still in the room.
For people from Middlechurch, who live outside the City of Winnipeg, a few minutes with a notepad could spare a phone call later. Keep the list short enough to be used, and keep it where you’ll find it.
Coverage questions are easier with your plan details on hand. Benefit plans and the Canadian Dental Care Plan vary in what they include and what you’d pay.

Some people worry that a written list will look fussy, or that they’ll take up too much time. It does neither. A clearer conversation is useful for everyone, and you’re entitled to understand your own care.
If an explanation went past you, it’s fine to ask to hear it again in simpler words.
Before starting, settle on how you’ll indicate that you’d like the work to pause.
Once numb, expect pressure or vibration more than sharp pain, and report anything else.
Questions that come later
Despite good planning, new questions will often arise after you’ve left. Your own instructions come first, and these general points may answer a few of them.
Not until normal feeling has returned, when you’re less likely to bite your cheek, lip or tongue. Care is also called for with hot drinks.
Short-term sensitivity to temperature or pressure can occur and ought to improve bit by bit. If it’s getting worse, call the clinic.
Brushing, cleaning between teeth and attending recommended examinations all count. Your dentist uses those exams to monitor the restoration.
Keep your list after the visit, and add new questions as they come up. If one is about a high bite or ongoing discomfort, phone rather than saving it.

Helpful details about dental fillings in Middlechurch.
Ask our teamYes, please do. It’s a practical way to make sure nothing is forgotten, and you can jot the answers beside each question as well.
Try asking what the dentist sees and why treatment may be recommended. The answer often leads naturally to options, materials and what to expect.
You should feel free to. For a given tooth, the right option depends on how much damage there is and how much healthy structure remains. Alternatives can be explained before you decide.
Not easily, with your mouth open and the tooth isolated. Agree on a signal beforehand so you can indicate discomfort, and ask your other questions before or after.
Phone the clinic. Having the tooth, the date of treatment and your question ready will help, particularly if it concerns your bite or sensitivity.
You can include a question with your form request or call (204) 338-3003. Clinical answers may have to wait for an examination at our Winnipeg clinic.
