What if the freezing doesn’t work this time either?+
Speak up as soon as you feel more than pressure or vibration, so we can pause and reassess your comfort. Mentioning past numbing trouble beforehand helps too.
Should I name the dentist or clinic from my bad experience?+
There’s no need. We’re interested in what you felt and what was difficult for you, and in understanding what would help this tooth. Share only what you want to.
Can I stop in the middle if I’m struggling?+
Tell us if you’re uncomfortable, and we can pause and reassess. Some stages may need finishing to protect the tooth, so ask how a pause would work before starting.
My last filling stayed sore for ages. Will this one do that?+
No one can say for sure beforehand. Short-term sensitivity can occur and should improve. If it isn’t improving, call the clinic instead of waiting it out as you may have before.
Could the earlier filling need redoing as well?+
Perhaps, if a tooth is still bothering you or the filling has failed in some way. An examination can show whether it’s sound. Tell us which tooth it was, if you remember.
Can Wolseley residents raise this before they arrive?+
Yes. Mention your earlier experience in the form, or telephone (204) 338-3003. The clinic will respond to arrange your visit at 2358 McPhillips Street.
