A tooth that hurt last month and feels fine today leaves you with an awkward question. Silence is welcome, yet it tells you very little about what is happening under the surface.
Let's find a time
Perhaps you booked nothing because the throbbing faded on its own. If you live in St. Boniface and still catch yourself avoiding that side when you chew, an examination and an X-ray can show what your own sense of the tooth cannot.
That visit takes place at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street, and it does not commit you to removal. Saving the tooth is usually the first aim, so extraction enters the conversation only if preserving it looks unpredictable.
Explore tooth extractions
How a tooth feels this week is one clue among several, and not the strongest.
Your exam and X-ray give the decision something firmer than guesswork to rest on.
Restoring, treating the inside or watching the tooth may also be on the table.
No page can diagnose your tooth. These are simply the kinds of findings and choices that an assessment tends to weigh up.
A dentist looks past the symptoms at the condition of the tooth and what holds it in place.
Four broad directions exist, and more than one of them may be open to you.
Sudden severe pain or swelling changes things. Phone the clinic about it instead of sending the online form.
Should you and your dentist settle on extraction, the technique will suit that tooth’s position, its root shape, the bone around it and how much of it shows.
Request your visitYour history, allergies, medications and X-rays get checked again, along with which tooth is being treated.
Local anesthetic goes in first, and nothing further happens until your comfort has been checked.
Gradual loosening frees the tooth, though a small incision or dividing it into sections is sometimes called for.
Once the area is clean and bleeding is under control, you may have gauze or sutures placed.
You go home with written directions and a clear idea of which symptoms warrant a phone call.
Since the tooth may behave itself on the day, your memory of how it acted matters. A few jotted notes will serve you better than trying to recall it all in the chair.
Skip the form and pick up the phone if the tooth flares badly before your appointment.
A low blue bench across from window seats, and a chair below a wall screen.
It can feel odd to book for a tooth that has stopped bothering you. Having it assessed while you are calm also gives you room to think through the choices instead of deciding in the middle of a flare-up.
You are entitled to understand why a recommendation was made, in everyday words.
Raise what an empty spot could mean for your chewing and your appearance.
Pressure and movement are normal, so mention anything beyond that straight away.
Once the socket is empty
Your take-home sheet outranks any general advice here, because healing depends on the procedure and your health. Soreness, swelling and minor oozing can happen, and the overall direction should be toward improvement.
Pick soft food that is cool or lukewarm, chewing on the far side from the socket.
Straws, cigarettes and vapes wait until the end of the period you were given.
These include stubborn bleeding, pain that sharply worsens after a few days, growing swelling, fever, drainage, a bad taste or unexpected numbness.
Difficulty breathing or swallowing calls for emergency medical care right away.

Helpful details about tooth extractions in St. Boniface.
Ask our teamA fading ache does not prove an infection has gone. Only an examination and X-ray can give a real picture, so it is reasonable to have it looked at even when you feel fine.
Sometimes waiting is exactly what is advised, since stable findings can be monitored. The difference is that the choice would rest on an assessment of the risk, not on how the tooth felt this week.
Yes, a tooth may be comfortable and still have a poor long-term outlook because of a fracture or lost support. Ask to see the findings and hear the alternatives.
Expect a sense of pressure and movement, without sharp pain. Should anything feel uncomfortable, say so to your dentist immediately.
The gum does its early healing over days to weeks, and the socket and bone keep changing well beyond that. Complexity, tooth location, your health and smoking all play a part.
