Check-ups & Cleanings for Rosser Residents

Dental care tends to drop off the list during a move, somewhere below the boxes and the change-of-address forms. When things settle, this page can help you pick your routine back up.

Picking Up Routine Dental Care After a Move

If you have recently settled in Rosser, your dental history probably sits in a file at your former clinic, perhaps in another town or province. Rosser is outside the City of Winnipeg, so residents who choose Winnipeg North Dental come in to McPhillips Street for their care.

You do not have to reconstruct everything before calling. A rough idea of when you were last seen and the name of your former clinic is a good beginning, and the first visit gives your dentist and hygienist their own picture of where things stand today.

Track down your file

Your former clinic’s name and contact information are enough to open a discussion about transfers.

Update your details

New address, new phone, possibly a new benefit plan: these belong in the first conversation.

Set a fresh baseline

Your first exam here shows your new dental team what is healthy and what deserves watching.

Starting over, not from zero

What a first exam and cleaning sort out.

Moving clinics doesn’t mean your earlier care is lost. Your new appointment brings past information together with a current assessment, and each half of the visit has its own job.

Getting to know your mouth

Since your dentist hasn’t met you before, the exam looks at your whole mouth and the history behind it.

  • Medical history, medications, and past treatment are all reviewed together.
  • Teeth, gums, soft tissues, bite, and earlier dental work get examined.
  • Available images from elsewhere can inform whether new ones are appropriate.
  • You get an explanation of the current state of things, without assumptions.

Catching up on the cleaning

A move can easily stretch the time between appointments, and your hygienist starts with whatever is there now.

  • Gums are assessed first, so the type of cleaning can be chosen.
  • Tartar that has hardened since your last visit is scaled away.
  • Surface stain may be polished off when polishing is appropriate.
  • Tips are shaped by your own routine, whichever bathroom it now happens in.

How much time a first visit needs depends on your history and what is found. A longer gap may mean additional hygiene time, possibly at a separate appointment.

Your first visit, outlined

Meeting a new dental team, one step at a time.

New-patient appointments generally include extra time for your background, so that the appropriate type and length of hygiene visit can be planned.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Fill in the background

    You go over past treatment, health changes, and anything your former clinic was keeping an eye on, as far as you remember it.

  2. 02

    Get a current assessment

    Your dentist examines your mouth, and any previous images help determine whether further X-rays are clinically needed.

  3. 03

    Have your teeth cleaned

    Plaque and tartar are removed by your hygienist, if the cleaning is scheduled for this appointment and suits what was found.

  4. 04

    Set your new rhythm

    Together you talk about a recall schedule, any recommended treatment, and how the next stage might be arranged around your trips into Winnipeg.

Dig this up, if you can

Your old file, and how to get it moving.

Records are simplest to arrange before your appointment, while there is still time to ask questions. If you cannot find something, come anyway, because your dentist can start from a fresh assessment.

Your coverage might also have changed with the move or a new job. Ask for an estimate and check how your plan applies before you decide on anything.

Helpful to have on hand

  • The name, city, and phone number of the clinic you last attended.
  • An approximate date for your last X-rays and your last cleaning.
  • A list of today’s medications, as prescribers may have changed too.
  • Details of any current insurance or CDCP coverage you hold.

New faces, new room

It’s okay to miss your old hygienist.

Getting used to unfamiliar people can make even a routine visit feel strange. Tell your new team how your previous appointments went, including what you liked and what you would rather avoid.

Say what used to help

If a certain approach made past visits easier, describing it gives your new team a useful head start.

Ask them to narrate

An unfamiliar clinic may work in unfamiliar ways, so feel free to ask for each step to be explained.

Arrange how to stop

A pause signal agreed ahead of time works just as well with a hygienist you have only just met.

Once you are on the books

Making this your regular routine.

After the first appointment, things generally become simpler. Your information is on file, and your team has a starting point to compare against when you return.

01

Your new recall date

An old schedule doesn’t automatically carry over, since your interval is set according to what your new dental team finds.

02

Unfinished business

Treatment that was suggested elsewhere can be raised here, so your dentist can assess it and tell you what they think.

03

A note for your phone

Save the clinic’s number in your contacts now, so it is easy to find if a concern ever comes up.

Ask our team
Do I have to request my records myself?

Ask the clinic how a transfer works when you get in touch. Having your former office’s contact information handy will make that conversation much more productive.

My old clinic was in another province. Does that change anything?

Mention it when you call, and ask what would be useful to obtain. If some information cannot be retrieved, your dentist can still assess your mouth as it is today.

Do I need new X-rays if I had some before I moved?

Not necessarily. Suitable recent images may be transferable, and your dentist decides what is needed from your age, history, symptoms, and cavity risk.

My previous dentist was watching a tooth. Should I bring that up?

Yes, as a monitored tooth is valuable history. Say which one it was, along with whatever you remember being told, so that your new dentist can look at it directly.

Has my interval changed now that I’ve switched clinics?

Possibly, because the recommendation comes from your current findings, your health, and your home care. Many patients attend around every six months, though that isn’t right for everyone.

Can I book while my records are still in transit?

You can certainly ask. Let the clinic know where things stand, as a transfer in progress is useful information to share while your appointment is being arranged.

I live in Rosser now. What does joining the clinic involve?

Send the form or telephone (204) 338-3003 to ask about a new-patient visit. It would take place at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6, once the clinic confirms it.
