My gums have started bleeding more. Should I wait for my next cleaning?+
Frequent or increasing bleeding is a good reason to request a visit now rather than holding on. It may point to inflammation, which your hygienist or dentist can assess.
A filling feels rough but doesn’t hurt. Is that urgent?+
Without pain it may not feel urgent, yet a rough edge can worsen or trap plaque and food. It is worth asking to have it looked at, and you can describe it when you contact us.
What sort of sore should I have checked?+
Any sore or patch on your lips, tongue, cheeks, or gums that is slow to heal deserves attention. A phone call to the clinic is a sensible way of getting it seen.
My tooth has just become sensitive. Could it wait?+
New discomfort with temperature, biting, or pressure ought to be assessed. If it is severe or comes with swelling, phone the clinic instead of using the online form.
Can you clean my teeth at the same appointment?+
Possibly, depending on what is found and what the problem needs. Mention that you are also due for a cleaning when you ask for a visit, and the clinic can talk through the options.
Who should North End Winnipeg residents call about a new concern?+
Reach the clinic at (204) 338-3003, or use the form if your concern isn’t pressing. Assessments happen at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6.
