That back tooth has been on your to-do list for quite a while, and it has been easy to leave. If you live in Northwood and are ready to deal with it, this page explains what happens next.
Let's find a time
Life gets busy, and a tooth that only bothers you now and then can slide down the list. No lecture is waiting for you. What matters is working out how the tooth is doing today, since decay and cracks can change over time and the options depend on what is there now.
If enough sound tooth remains, a custom inlay or onlay could be among the choices. If not, something else may be more suitable. Northwood is an area in Winnipeg, and residents come to Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street to find out where things stand.

Time away from a dentist is common, and you do not owe anybody an explanation for it.
Whatever you were told years ago, the plan has to rest on what the tooth looks like today.
Booking an assessment does not commit you to any treatment before you have decided on it.
Delay does not automatically rule out conservative repair. Still, a tooth left alone may not be in the same state as when you first noticed it.
Where the walls hold up and the foundation appears stable, a restoration that replaces only the affected part may be on the table.
It is possible that more of the tooth is now affected, and broader protection or different treatment could be advisable instead.
It is impossible to predict all this from home, so try not to jump to conclusions in either direction. An examination will give you a more reliable answer.
You only need to think about the first of these for now. The later stages apply if the assessment shows that a custom restoration is a good fit for you.
Request your visitShare your history and when the tooth first started to bother you. The dentist then examines it and explains what they can see.
You discuss what is recommended, alongside other possibilities. It is reasonable to ask about urgency, priorities and costs before deciding.
Local anesthetic is typically used while the damage is removed. The tooth is then recorded by scan or impression, and a temporary may be placed.
Your custom piece is tried, checked for fit and bite, then adhesively bonded and polished, which closes out this treatment.
Maybe you no longer remember when you last saw a dentist, or who did your earlier work. That is fine. Bring what you can, and tell us whatever else comes to mind.
If costs have been part of the reason for waiting, say so openly. Ask for an estimate once the dentist has decided what is needed.
The seating area and the reception desk at our clinic in Winnipeg.
Not everyone stays away because they are busy. If worry has been a reason, say so when you arrive. It lets you and the dentist talk about what might make things easier.
Find out what will happen today before anyone begins, including whether treatment is planned at all.
Preparation for a restoration usually involves local anesthetic to help keep you comfortable.
It is fine to ask for a moment when something feels like too much during your visit.
Staying caught up
Having dealt with the tooth, it helps not to lose momentum. A few simple steps can mean you are less likely to end up in the same position.
Check-up timing depends on your own needs, so find out what is recommended for you.
Lingering sensitivity, a high bite, a rough edge or a loose feeling should not join the to-do list.
Consistent cleaning at the edge of the restoration can be simpler than you might expect.

Only an examination can answer that. It depends on how much sound tooth is left, as well as on decay, cracks, root health and how your teeth bite together.
Have it examined anyway. A change in symptoms does not tell you what is happening inside, and the dentist can then explain what they find.
Tell the dentist that this is your priority. They may need to mention other findings, and you can then discuss which concerns should come first.
You decide what happens with your care. Ask for the findings and options to be explained, along with how urgent they are, and take time to consider them.
Call the clinic to explain what has changed, rather than waiting for a reply to your online request. Worsening pain or swelling should be brought up by phone.
After some time away, you may have other questions too. These pages cover general visits and other forms of repair.
