It is common for a sore tooth to be what finally brings someone back to a dentist. However long it has been, this visit can begin with that one tooth and go from there.
Let's find a time
Costs, a busy stretch of life, a move or plain avoidance can turn one skipped check-up into many years. Then a tooth starts to hurt or break. If you live in Inkster Gardens and that is your story, it may feel awkward to pick up the phone, but it is a reasonable moment to get back in touch with dental care.
You may be expecting the worst, and it could be that the tooth has to come out. It may also turn out that it can be restored. At Winnipeg North Dental, on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, the examination and X-ray come first, followed by a plain account of what we see and which choices are open to you.
Explore tooth extractions
Tell us which tooth prompted your call, so that it gets attention first.
Time away from dental care is common, and an accurate history is all your dentist needs.
If other work comes up, ask which issues matter most and which of them can wait.
After a long gap, your dentist has no recent records to compare against. That is why the assessment looks at the problem tooth as well as how it fits into the rest of your mouth.
The first task is working out whether it can be predictably kept.
Everything around that tooth affects what makes sense for it.
If an extraction is recommended, ask why and what the alternatives would involve. It is fine to want time to think, unless the tooth’s condition makes waiting unwise.
Removal is one possible outcome and not the automatic first step. Should you and your dentist agree on it, this general order applies, with adjustments to suit the tooth.
Request your visitYour dentist goes through your current health, medications and allergies, along with X-rays of the tooth, and confirms what is being removed.
Local anesthetic is placed, then you are asked how comfortable you feel. If it has been years since your last freezing, feel free to say so.
It is loosened gently and taken out, sometimes with a small incision or sectioning if a simple approach would not be predictable.
Cleaning and bleeding control come next, with gauze or sutures if appropriate. You go home with written instructions and a list of symptoms worth calling about.
You do not need old records or a tidy explanation to begin. Say how long it has been, which tooth is bothering you, and whether anything about dentists makes you uneasy.
Should you have severe pain or swelling, do not spend time worrying about how to explain the gap. A quick phone call to the clinic is the thing to do.

A long break sometimes has a reason behind it, such as a bad experience or a fear of bad news. Telling your dentist about it helps them understand how you would like information shared.
If a full rundown of your mouth would feel like too much, ask to focus on the most pressing issue.
Feel free to ask how something works today if your memories of dentistry are from long ago.
Agree on a signal for when you need a moment, and use it if you start to feel overwhelmed.
Afterward, and after that
Your first priority is the socket, so follow your written instructions closely. Soreness, swelling and a little oozing can happen, and should head in the right direction as the days pass.
Stick to soft, cool or lukewarm food, and avoid straws, smoking, vaping and hard spitting for the time discussed with you.
Call if bleeding does not respond to directed pressure, if pain worsens significantly after a few days, or if you develop fever, drainage, a bad taste or more swelling.
Having returned, consider asking when a check-up would make sense so that your next visit can come before something starts to hurt.
Difficulty swallowing or breathing is a reason to go for emergency medical care straight away.

A long gap does not mean that. Each tooth is assessed on its own merits, and only an examination and X-rays can show what your teeth actually need.
The tooth and an X-ray need to be reviewed before removal, along with your health history. Ask what else your dentist feels should be looked at, and why, so you can decide together.
You can come without them. If you remember your previous office and past X-rays could be useful, ask the clinic about transferring them.
Ask your dentist to explain which problems are most pressing and what the options are for each. You can then ask about planning the treatment in stages.
