What you do at the sink each day has a real bearing on a restoration. Here is what Stony Mountain residents who come into Winnipeg for care can do at home, and what to ask at the clinic.
Let's find a time
A restored tooth is still a living tooth with a seam around it, and that seam is where plaque tends to settle. Hygiene is one of several things that influence how a restoration holds up, alongside its size, material, your bite and your habits. It is also the one that is largely in your hands.
Stony Mountain is outside the City of Winnipeg, and residents have their restorations placed and examined at our clinic on McPhillips Street. Since those visits have to be planned, it makes sense to leave each one knowing what to do between them. Your dentist can point out which spots around your own dental work need the most attention.
Explore tooth-colored restorations
Direct your brushing to where the restoration and natural enamel join each other.
Contact areas beside a repair need regular cleaning that a brush alone will not reach.
A surface that suddenly feels rough can hold plaque, and it should be mentioned.
Maintaining a direct filling and a custom piece has a lot in common. Still, it helps to understand how each is made and where its edges sit on your tooth.
Bonded resin, shaped and polished on the tooth, generally serves for smaller and moderate repairs.
Each is made from a scan or impression and then bonded or cemented to the tooth.
Which restoration suits your tooth is decided at an examination. Good home care supports the result, although no routine can promise any particular outcome.
Alongside any treatment, a visit is a chance to learn how to look after what you have. Here is one possible order for covering that ground.
Request your visitAn honest outline of when and how you clean makes any advice far more relevant to you.
Ask which teeth have dental work, and where you might be missing the edges of it.
Your dentist reviews surfaces, margins and contact areas, and takes images when there is a reason to.
A short list of adjustments you can realistically keep up tends to go further than a long one.
Between trips from Stony Mountain, it costs nothing to pay attention. Jot down anything you notice, and take those notes with you to your next appointment in Winnipeg.
Cleaning cannot settle pain or swelling. If either occurs, telephone the clinic and skip the form.

It can be uncomfortable to admit that your routine slips at times. You will get more useful suggestions if your dentist hears what really happens, including what is awkward for you to do.
Tell the clinic if brushing near your repair is sore, so that the cause can be looked at.
Mention anything that makes flossing difficult, then ask what else might work for you.
Seeing the angle on your own tooth may be clearer than any written description.
Back at your own sink
Your first days home in Stony Mountain are a good time to start, once any numbness has gone and the tooth feels comfortable. Follow any specific instruction you were given.
Ask when it is fine to floss and brush as usual around the treated tooth.
Regular examinations let your dentist review margins that you cannot easily see.
A dark line along a restoration deserves a look, although it does not always mean trouble.
A phone call to (204) 338-3003 is a reasonable place to start if something about your restoration seems different from usual.

Helpful details about tooth-colored restorations in Stony Mountain.
Ask our teamYour dentist can advise you on products that suit your dental work, so bring what you currently use or simply name it. Rough surfaces and staining are good reasons to raise the question.
Generally a restoration is meant to be cleaned like the rest of your mouth, but follow any instruction you get at your appointment. If floss snags or shreds there, let the clinic know.
The material does not decay in the same way, yet natural tooth around it can. New decay is one of the things that affects how long a restoration lasts.
Have it examined at your next visit, or sooner if it worries you. Margins and surfaces may pick up colour over time, and the stain alone does not always mean anything needs to be replaced.
It helps, but it is not the only influence. Size, material, bite, habits, bonding and new decay all play a part, and no restoration has a fixed lifespan.
Ask when you call, and mention that you are coming in from outside the city. The clinic can talk through what might reasonably be arranged, and how much time to set aside.
