Dental Fillings for Stony Mountain Residents

A tooth has started acting up, and you aren’t sure how quickly it needs looking at. Stony Mountain residents can use this page to decide how to contact our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg, and what to say.

Choosing the Right Way to Contact Us

When you live outside the City of Winnipeg, you might hesitate to raise a dental problem until you’re sure a trip is justified. Yet it’s hard to judge from home what a symptom means, as the same twinge can have several causes.

Here’s a simple rule of thumb. Something that hurts or feels urgent calls for a phone call, while a concern that isn’t bothering you much can go through the request form. Either route brings you to the same place: a conversation, followed by an assessment if needed.

Painful means phone

If it’s urgent or hurting, skip the form and talk to the clinic.

Calm means form

Something that can wait a little is well suited to a written request.

Either way, describe it

Say which tooth, what sets it off and how it has been changing.

A rough sorting guide

Which route suits what you’ve noticed.

This only helps you choose how to get in touch; it doesn’t tell you what’s wrong. If you can’t decide which column you’re in, take that as a reason to pick up the phone.

Pick up the phone

These are better discussed directly, so that the clinic can advise you on the next step instead of waiting for a form to be read.

  • Tooth pain you’d describe as strong or worsening.
  • Pain when biting that makes eating difficult.
  • A broken tooth or a sudden sharp edge.
  • Discomfort after recent treatment that isn’t improving.

Send the form

These still deserve attention, and it’s wise not to ignore them, but a written request gives you time to explain what you’ve observed.

  • A dark spot or change you’d like to show someone.
  • Food catching in one place again and again.
  • An occasional, mild reaction to cold or sweets.
  • An older filling you’d like to have assessed.

Symptoms can change. A concern you sent by form may become one you’d rather phone about, and it’s fine to do that if it starts to hurt.

After you’ve made contact

If it turns out to need a filling.

Not every symptom ends with a filling, as the cause has to be identified first. When a direct filling does suit the tooth, these are the usual stages, adapted to the tooth and material.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Identify the cause

    Decay, a crack, wear or a failing restoration can all produce similar complaints. An examination and suitable records help tell them apart.

  2. 02

    Prepare for the repair

    Once the plan is agreed, anesthetic can be given as appropriate. Isolation keeps the tooth dry as damaged areas are carefully taken away.

  3. 03

    Place the material

    Controlled layers of composite are hardened to rebuild the tooth. The shape is restored in a way that allows for proper cleaning.

  4. 04

    Finish and adjust

    Polishing comes before a final look at how your teeth meet. High spots can be adjusted, so speak up if the bite doesn’t seem right.

What to say when you get in touch

Clear details lead to better advice.

Stony Mountain residents can make the most of a first conversation by having a few facts in mind. You don’t need the right terms; everyday descriptions do the job.

If your question is about coverage rather than symptoms, have your plan handy. What’s included varies across benefit plans and the Canadian Dental Care Plan.

Have this in mind

  • Which tooth, or at least which side and area.
  • What triggers it, and how long the feeling stays.
  • When the problem first began.
  • Past work on that tooth, if you know of any.

If you’re unsure

Calling about something small is allowed.

Plenty of people talk themselves out of a call, thinking the problem isn’t serious enough to mention. If it’s on your mind, it’s worth a quick question, and you won’t be judged for how long you’ve waited.

If you’re already sore

Tell the team when you arrive, so that they know how the tooth has been behaving.

During numbing and repair

Treatment typically brings vibration and pressure; let the team know about anything sharp.

Asking for a break

Your comfort can be reassessed at any stage if you say you need a pause.

After a filling: same rule applies

Knowing when to phone again.

You’ll get aftercare instructions specific to your repair, so use those first. This general outline can help you decide whether a new symptom calls for contact.

01

Not a reason to call

Numbness soon after treatment is expected. Stay away from chewing and be careful with hot drinks until sensation has come back.

02

Keep an eye on it

Short-lived sensitivity to cold, heat or pressure can happen after a filling. It should get better as time passes, rather than getting worse.

03

Time to call

Phone about a tooth that feels high or touches first, or chewing that’s still uncomfortable. The same goes for significant or persistent discomfort.

Keep up with your brushing, between-teeth cleaning and recommended exams, which give your dentist a chance to spot changes early.

Ask our team
How do I decide if my tooth is urgent?

You can’t always tell from home. If it’s painful, worsening or you’re concerned, treat it as a phone call and let the clinic guide you on what to do.

Can I describe the problem in the form?

Yes, a few plain sentences are helpful. Keep the form for non-urgent concerns, because requests aren’t a way to reach someone right away.

What if nobody answers when I phone?

Try again, and leave a message if that’s offered, with your name, number and what’s happening. Please don’t rely on the form for a problem that’s urgent.

My tooth stopped hurting before I got around to calling. Now what?

Pain that fades doesn’t necessarily mean the cause has gone away. It’s still sensible to have the tooth assessed, and you can request that using the form.

Can you tell over the phone if I’ll need a filling?

Not with certainty. Sensitivity and pain have various causes, so an examination is what determines the need. A phone call does help decide how soon to arrange one.

Which contact do Stony Mountain residents use for a broken filling?

Phone (204) 338-3003 if it’s painful or feels urgent. Otherwise, the request form works too. Any care would be provided at our clinic on McPhillips Street.

Nothing urgent right now?
