A passing comment about a tooth can stay with you. A dentist at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg can tell you what’s there and whether anything needs doing.
Let's find a time
Perhaps it was meant kindly, or perhaps it was a joke. Either way, you’d never given that tooth a thought, and now you’re checking it each morning. Stony Mountain sits outside the City of Winnipeg, so you may also be asking yourself whether a remark really justifies a trip into town. That’s entirely your call to make.
An examination can replace someone’s passing opinion with actual information. The dentist at Winnipeg North Dental’s McPhillips Street clinic can look at the enamel, the bite and how the tooth compares with its neighbours. Sometimes a very small refinement is possible, and sometimes the honest answer is that it’s fine as it is. Your preferences decide what happens from there.

What another person noticed doesn’t oblige you to change anything.
A clinical look separates what’s actually there from what you now fear is there.
Leaving a healthy tooth exactly as it is can be a sound decision.
It helps to separate the remark from the tooth, and the tooth from the treatment. Taking them in order makes the decision feel smaller.
The first task is simply to describe that tooth accurately, without any judgment attached.
A subtle treatment suits only a subtle difference, and only in the right circumstances.
Because the change is permanent, make sure you’re doing this for your own reasons. If you’re unsure, there’s no harm in waiting while you think about it.
Coming in undecided is perfectly fine. If you’re arranging the trip into the city, ask what the assessment involves and how long to allow.
Request your visitYou needn’t repeat what was said to you. Just name the tooth and ask to have it examined.
Enamel thickness, tooth health, proportions and your bite are all carefully evaluated by the dentist.
You can ask for a straightforward view of how visible the difference is and whether treatment makes sense.
If contouring is suitable and you want it, the area is gently refined, polished, and checked against your bite.
You don’t owe anybody an explanation, but it can help to be clear with yourself. A few minutes’ reflection might make the appointment more useful.
If the comment has been weighing heavily on you, that’s worth taking seriously, and your feelings count even if the tooth turns out to need nothing.
A quiet room with black chairs around a white desk.
With no nerve supply in enamel, contouring is generally comfortable and often goes ahead without local anaesthetic. Should you feel any sensitivity, tell the dentist at once so they can reassess.
Wanting a tooth looked at is reason enough, whatever brought it to your attention.
You’re free to ask how noticeable the dentist thinks the difference really is.
Nothing has to be decided on the spot, so say if you’d like longer to think.
In the weeks that follow
Whether or not you have treatment, you’ll probably stop inspecting that tooth so closely. A question that comes up later can still be taken to the clinic.
You can revisit the idea when you next see a dentist, as there’s no pressure to act right now.
Ring the clinic if your bite feels different or the edge turns rough after you’re back in Stony Mountain.
Tell the dentist if a small tooth difference still preoccupies you. It’s worth being open about that rather than removing more enamel.
Enamel can’t be replaced once removed, so a calm look a few weeks later is better than a hurried request for further changes.

Ask our teamNot simply because of that. An assessment can tell you what’s going on with the tooth, and then whether you want anything done is entirely your decision.
Ask that question directly. A tooth that’s healthy and only slightly different may not need treatment, and that can be just as useful to hear as a treatment suggestion.
No treatment can control what others say. That’s why it makes sense to decide based on what you want for your own tooth, not on what you hope will silence someone.
Not necessarily, as most people aren’t looking at tooth health when they comment. Even so, if the edge has recently changed or hurts, mention that, because it’s a separate matter.
It may be, and small refinements are exactly what this treatment is designed for. Ask the dentist how slight a change could be while still making a difference that you’d notice.
The form below works, as does a call to (204) 338-3003. You needn’t explain what prompted it. The clinic will respond, and you’d come to McPhillips Street in Winnipeg at the agreed time.
