A small repair, explained
It does not have to hurt to need attention.
Many people are surprised to learn about decay in a tooth that feels perfectly normal. Cavities often start without symptoms, and an exam with appropriate X-rays can reveal what you would never notice yourself. Dealing with the area while it is still manageable may preserve more of your natural tooth and lower the chance of the damage becoming more complex.
For a Jefferson resident facing this for the first time, the idea is straightforward. The damaged part is taken away, healthy structure is kept wherever possible, and the tooth is rebuilt so that it can do its job. At Winnipeg North Dental, tooth-coloured material is used when it is appropriate for the tooth and the type of repair.

From finding to finished
How a tooth gets repaired.
Exact details vary with the tooth and the material, but a direct filling usually goes in this order.
Request your visit- 01
Confirm the plan
Before anything starts, the tooth is identified and the plan reviewed with you. New to the clinic? Call or submit a request first, then wait to hear back about the time.
- 02
Clear and rebuild
The area is numbed if needed and kept clean and dry. Decay or weak material comes out, and layers of filling material are placed and hardened to recreate the shape.
- 03
Polish and test
Once it is smooth, you bite down so the fit can be checked. Before you go, you should hear what is normal as the numbness fades and when you ought to call.

Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about general dentistry in Jefferson.
Ask our teamCan a cavity just be watched instead of filled?
Some findings can be monitored when they are stable and do not create unacceptable risk, while others should be treated. Ask the dentist which category your tooth falls into and why.
Why might I need something bigger than a filling?
A filling suits many small and moderate repairs. If a larger area has been lost, an inlay or onlay may be considered, and a crown may come up when a tooth is significantly weakened or fractured.
What should I avoid right after the appointment?
While you are numb, hold off on chewing so you do not bite your cheek, lip or tongue, and take care with hot drinks. Your own instructions apply first.
The tooth is a little sensitive afterward. Is that normal?
Brief sensitivity to temperature or pressure can occur and ought to ease over time. Get in touch if it is significant, is getting worse, or if the tooth meets first when you close.
Will insurance or CDCP pay for a filling?
Many benefit plans and the Canadian Dental Care Plan include eligible restorative services, but materials, restrictions and your portion vary. The clinic can help you make sense of what your plan says.
How should someone in Jefferson get a suspected cavity checked?
