A crown, bridge or filling in your hand is not necessarily a disaster, but the tooth beneath may be vulnerable. Save the piece and phone our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
It often happens over something chewy. You feel an odd crunch, find a hard little object in your food and realize that it belongs in your mouth. For people in The Maples, the northwest part of Winnipeg, the next question tends to be whether this can wait until it is convenient.
Sometimes the honest answer needs a dentist’s input. A tooth without its restoration may feel fine, or it may be sharp, sensitive or painful, and either way it can be more exposed than before. Call Winnipeg North Dental, describe what came out and how the tooth feels, and we’ll help you work out how soon it should be seen.

A restoration you have saved lets the dentist examine it and consider what can be done.
Household glue does not belong anywhere near your tooth, however tempting a quick fix may seem.
Dental work sometimes comes loose for a reason, and the dentist can look into why.
The type of restoration affects what the dentist looks for, though in every case the tooth itself receives a careful check.
The space left behind can have rough edges and may trap food, and it may be sensitive.
These cover or span teeth that may already have been weakened, so the underlying structure deserves attention.
Injuries sometimes dislodge dental work. A serious facial injury, loss of consciousness, uncontrolled bleeding, severe facial swelling or trouble breathing or swallowing means calling 911 or seeking emergency medical care first.
The aim is to protect the tooth, establish why the restoration failed and decide what it should be replaced or repaired with. This is how it generally proceeds.
Request your visitTell us what you were eating or doing when it came out, how old the restoration is if you know and what you have felt since.
Both are examined, along with X-rays if they are deemed necessary to look for decay, a fracture or another cause.
The dentist addresses sensitivity, sharp edges and any immediate risk to the tooth, as the situation calls for.
You discuss whether repair or replacement is the realistic option, and a further appointment is arranged if definitive work cannot be done at this visit.
Keep sticky and hard foods off the menu, because they can make matters worse or dislodge something else. Household glue is not safe for putting a restoration back, so leave that for the dentist to sort out.
If pain or swelling arrives while you are waiting, let the clinic know; it can change how urgently you should be seen.
Space for your questions at our McPhillips Street clinic.
You invested time and money in that restoration, so seeing it come out can be irritating as well as worrying. It is fine to say so, and to ask what may have caused it.
Age, new decay and a damaged tooth are among the possibilities, so ask what the dentist finds.
Find out what repair or replacement could involve, and whether different materials are an option.
Ask for an estimate once the plan is clear, especially if a new restoration is being recommended.
Making the repair last
With the immediate problem handled, attention can turn to what keeps the new restoration in good shape. Ongoing care and regular assessment both have a part in that.
A temporary measure is not designed to stay forever, so make time for the final restoration if one has been recommended.
When one piece of older dental work fails, you may wish to ask how the rest looks.
Anything that feels high, loose or uncomfortable afterwards is worth a call to the clinic.
If a temporary piece comes loose too, please keep it and phone us.

Ask our teamPlease do not use household glue. It is not meant for use in the mouth, and it may complicate the repair. Keep the crown safe and phone the clinic.
Feeling no pain does not always mean the tooth is safe, as it can still be vulnerable. Phone the clinic and describe it, so we can help you judge how soon to book.
Perhaps, but this depends on the condition of both the crown and the tooth beneath it. Bring it along so the dentist can examine it, and you will hear what is realistic.
Avoid chewing hard or sticky food on it, and call us to explain what you are noticing. Try not to force it back, and keep it if it comes out.
It may. Definitive treatment sometimes cannot be completed during an urgent visit, so ask your dentist how many visits your particular case is likely to need.
Call (204) 338-3003 when there is pain, sharpness or swelling. When the concern is minor, submit the form here, then expect the clinic to get in touch about timing.
