It flares, it calms down, and you hope that was the last of it. When a tooth keeps coming back to bother you, a call to our McPhillips Street clinic can help break the cycle of guessing.
Let's find a time
You know the pattern by now. A few bad days, a stretch where everything seems fine, and then the same tooth wakes up again. It might even be something a dentist told you about a while ago, and you have been meaning to deal with it ever since. If you live in Weston and this feels familiar, you can still phone. A flare-up is a good reason to pick up the conversation again.
The quiet stretches between episodes can be misleading, as they do not tell you the cause has gone. When the pain is back, or when it is worsening, is a useful time to call Winnipeg North Dental. The dentist can examine the tooth at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, find out what is driving the problem and talk through the choices open to you.

How often it flares and what sets it off can give the dentist a helpful place to start.
If you were previously told something about this tooth, pass that on when you call.
A good week can be welcome without being evidence that the problem has resolved.
A recurring problem calls for a look at what is causing it, because comfort alone cannot tell you that. Here is what is worth noting and how it may be approached.
You will not need a perfect record. A general sense of the pattern tells the dentist more than a single bad day does.
The visit deals with what is immediately wrong, but it also gives you a chance to find out what would settle the longer-term issue.
A familiar tooth can still produce an unfamiliar emergency. If breathing or swallowing becomes difficult, your face swells badly, bleeding cannot be controlled, you lose consciousness or you suffer a serious facial injury, call 911 or get emergency medical care.
No two teeth follow the same course, so your appointment may differ from this. It gives you a general sense of what to expect.
Request your visitMention that this has happened before, how it is different today, and whether symptoms are building. That helps the clinic decide how soon you should come in.
Your dentist reviews your symptoms over time along with your health history, including any treatment that was earlier discussed or started.
A clinical exam and appropriate X-rays can help identify infection, decay, a fracture or another reason for the repeated trouble.
You receive an explanation and realistic options. Anything that cannot be finished during that appointment can be arranged as follow-up.
A few notes on your phone or on paper will do. You are simply trying to give the dentist the longer view of what has been happening.
Between flares, resist the habit of treating the tooth with whatever worked last time. If a warm salt-water rinse helps, that is fine, but do not rest aspirin or other medication against the tooth or gum.
The front desk and seating area at our clinic.
There are plenty of understandable reasons to delay dental treatment. Whatever yours were, stating them plainly can make it easier to talk about what would work for you now.
Fear, cost and timing all affect decisions, and each one can be part of the discussion.
If you cannot do everything at once, ask which issue the dentist would look at first.
Understanding the possible consequences lets you make an informed decision about timing.
Breaking the pattern
The point at which your pain eases is often when plans slide. Try to set things up now so that the next quiet spell does not undo your good intentions.
Settling on a date for any further treatment makes it less likely to drift.
A short note about new symptoms gives you something accurate to report at your next visit.
Episodes that come more often, hurt more or bring swelling should be reported promptly.
If this tooth flares again before your next visit, call (204) 338-3003.

Ask our teamSeveral different problems can behave this way, and symptoms easing does not reveal which one you have. An exam and any X-rays that are needed can help identify the cause.
Certainly. Share what you remember being told, even if it is vague. The tooth may be different now, so the dentist will assess how things currently stand.

No. A period of calm can be a fine time to ask about a tooth that has been unreliable. You can request a non-urgent visit using the form, or phone the clinic.
