A dull ache you cannot pin on one tooth. An odd taste that keeps coming back. Park View residents can have this sort of vague discomfort looked at on McPhillips Street, at our clinic in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
Mouth discomfort does not always announce its source. Tenderness may come and go. Cold may sting along the gumline. A lingering taste can seem to come from nowhere in particular. It can feel silly to book an appointment over something so hard to describe.
These signs can be connected to your gums, your teeth or something else altogether, so guessing rarely helps. Inflammation, receding tissue and bacterial buildup are all possibilities, as are problems inside a tooth. At Winnipeg North Dental, a thorough exam narrows down what is going on, including a periodontal check if your symptoms suggest it.

Hard-to-describe symptoms are still a reason to ask, and you need not name the cause.
Because symptoms overlap, it helps to look at the supporting tissues as well as the teeth.
Treatment is based on what is found, and not simply on where you feel something.
Should an exam connect your symptoms to gum tissue, the next question is how far it has gone. Gingivitis, periodontitis and other causes each call for a different response.
Some findings make a gum connection more likely, though no single one proves it on its own.
Care is scaled to the diagnosis, beginning with what your readings support.
If the source turns out to be a tooth, your dentist can explain what that means and which different treatment might be considered.
You do not have to arrive with a tidy explanation. The assessment is built to gather clues, starting with your own description, however imprecise it may seem to you.
Request your visitSay when it started, what sets it off and how it feels, and we will also ask about health, medicines, tobacco, family history and earlier care.
Measuring softly around your teeth identifies any deep pockets, bleeding or recession and changes in attachment that could be linked to your symptoms.
Your bite, tooth movement, buildup and suitable images help show whether the support structures or the teeth may be the cause.
Your dentist explains what the clues point to, which gum areas seem active if any, and what a sensible plan might involve.
Without overthinking it, try to notice whether the feeling follows eating, cold drinks, brushing or nothing in particular. Small patterns like these can give an exam a useful direction.
If pain is strong, swelling is growing or you are unsure how urgent something is, phone the clinic rather than sending the form.

If you already hurt somewhere, the thought of having it prodded can make you want to cancel. Please tell us right away which side is uncomfortable, so that we can take it into account.
Letting us know beforehand is more useful than bracing silently in the chair.
You can ask what is about to happen if that would help you feel more settled.
Roots that react to cold are good to mention, especially before any air or water is used.
When the mystery is solved
Knowing the cause gives you something definite to act on. If the answer involves periodontitis, you can expect a personalized maintenance plan, because it tends to be managed over time and not considered cured.
Tell the clinic if the sensation you came in about does not improve as expected.
Ask for specific pointers on the area that troubled you, so you can keep it clean comfortably.
Planned visits help catch changes in areas that could become active again.
New symptoms in a different location are worth raising, even if your original concern has already been dealt with.

Helpful details about gum disease treatment in Park View.
Ask our teamIt can cause tenderness or sensitivity, though periodontitis may also produce little discomfort. An ache can have other causes too, so it should be checked and not assumed.
An unpleasant taste can accompany bacterial buildup around the gums, but it may also have other oral or medical causes. An exam helps establish whether your gums are contributing.
Receding tissue can leave part of a root more exposed, but sensitivity has other possible explanations as well. Show your dentist where it stings when you come in.
Finding your gums healthy is useful information in itself. Your dentist can tell you what was ruled out, and let you know what to watch for or what to do if it continues.
There is no need to wait for that. Being unsure is part of why an exam is useful. If the pain becomes severe or you are concerned, call the clinic.
Use this page’s form or phone (204) 338-3003, and describe the feeling in your own words. Your exam would be at the McPhillips Street clinic once a time has been arranged.
