Life gets busy, money gets tight and dental visits slip for years. Then one tooth starts demanding attention. Coming back because of that tooth is a perfectly good place to start.
Let's find a time
If a painful or damaged tooth has brought you back after several years away, you may be bracing for a lecture or a very long list of problems. Neither is the point of the visit. The first aim is simply to understand what is going on with the tooth that sent you in.
Weston is an area in Winnipeg, and residents returning to care can start at our clinic on McPhillips Street. Deep decay left untreated for some time can reach the inner tissue, so a root canal may come up, but that is only one possibility to be examined.
Explore root canal therapy
Ask for the most pressing problem to be looked at and explained first.
After a long break, new X-rays and an exam help show where things stand today.
The reasons you stayed away are yours, and you only have to share what you’d like.
After years without a check-up, it helps to separate the urgent tooth from everything else. Here is how the two can be thought about.
If its pulp can’t recover and enough tooth remains to restore, root canal therapy may be recommended.
A general picture can be useful once the pressing issue is understood, and you can ask how to approach it.
Finding a number of concerns doesn’t oblige you to deal with them all at once. Ask what is more pressing, and what the dentist would be watching.
Coming back is often the hardest part. Treatment timing, if a root canal is needed, depends on the tooth, any infection and the restoration.
Request your visitExplain what is bothering you and, if you like, about how long it has been since you last saw a dentist. An estimate is plenty.
With no recent records, expect some questions about your health along with suitable X-rays, which show what can’t be seen by eye.
The dentist explains what the tooth needs and what else was noticed. Ask what matters most, and what the possibilities are for each concern.
If you go ahead with a root canal, you’ll come back to treat and then rebuild the tooth, with other needs discussed as you move along.
There’s no need to brush more than usual in the hope of hiding anything, or to apologize in advance. A little basic information will do fine for a return visit.
Don’t remember the name of your old dental office, or when you last went? That’s fine. Just share what you can recall.
A reception counter with plants, and a desk near a window with blinds.
Plenty of people feel awkward about the state of their teeth after time away. Telling us that up front is enough. It helps us explain things in a way that doesn’t add to the discomfort.
If your last dental visit was difficult, describe what made it hard, so it can be taken into account.
Any root canal starts with local anesthetic. Vibration is common, but sharp pain needs reporting right then.
Ask for information in manageable pieces if a long list of findings would feel overwhelming.
Staying back in the habit
One treated tooth can be a turning point, though it only protects you if the plan carries on. Here’s what tends to matter once the immediate problem has settled.
The final restoration matters, even once the pain has gone. Without it, the tooth may be vulnerable, and an earlier effort could be undermined.
Short-term tenderness on biting can occur. Let the clinic know by phone if pain or swelling is strong, climbing or unexpected.
Ask about a schedule of check-ups and cleanings that suits your mouth, so a future problem is more likely to be noticed earlier.
Did another gap sneak in? You are still welcome to get back in touch, however long it has been.

They can be helpful but are not something to stress over. Tell the clinic what you remember, and ask whether new X-rays will be needed for your assessment.
Ask the dentist how the different needs rank and what could safely be spaced out. Knowing what was found doesn’t mean you have to deal with all of it at the same sitting.
Time alone doesn’t settle that. What decides it is how much sound structure and support remain, which is something an examination and X-rays are needed to establish.
That depends on whether the damage has reached the inner tissue and if that tissue can recover. Your dentist can explain which applies after examining the tooth.
