When a dental visit means coming into the city, you want to get what you came for in as few trips as possible. If you live in West St. Paul, a few questions ahead of time can help.
Let's find a time
West St. Paul is outside the City of Winnipeg, so residents who choose our clinic on McPhillips Street come into Winnipeg for their care. A bit of planning can reduce surprises, such as learning on arrival that your X-rays are at your former office.
Nobody can promise that everything will fit into a single outing, since your exam findings and the amount of buildup influence that. Asking the right questions in advance does at least give you a clearer idea of how the day may look, and what might bring you back.
Explore check-ups & cleanings
Share when you were last seen, then ask how long to allow for your appointment.
Have a conversation about transferring images and notes well before your date.
See whether your exam and cleaning can reasonably be scheduled together.
These two parts of preventive care are often booked together. Each one has its own variables, and those are what may change how long you are at the clinic.
The exam itself gives your dentist a view of your oral health, and how much it involves depends on your history.
The work involved in your cleaning comes down largely to what your hygienist finds once your gums and teeth are assessed.
An estimate given in advance is only that. Your findings on the day can change the plan, so leave yourself a little flexibility if you can.
Here is one way to approach it, starting before you ever leave home. Your own experience will differ with your oral health and what is due.
Request your visitContact the clinic to discuss your last visit, likely appointment length, and any records. Having this conversation early gives everyone time to prepare.
Your visit opens with your medical and dental history, plus any concerns. If you have limits on your time that day, raise them right away.
Your mouth is examined and findings are explained, then your hygienist discusses and carries out the appropriate cleaning. Sometimes it is split across visits.
Ask what needs a return trip, what can be handled by phone, and when your exam and cleaning should each be repeated.
Most of the avoidable frustration comes from things that could have been raised beforehand. Gather what you can and ask your questions while there is still time to act on the answers.
Costs are also easier to think about in advance, so you may want to request an estimate and check it against your plan’s coverage.
Chairs and small plants in front of a blinded window.
Having organized the trip, you may feel you ought to just get through it. Your comfort still matters, though. If something is bothering you, mention it to your team as you would at any other appointment.
Having come in specially, feel free to ask what’s planned, and why, before any instruments are picked up.
If a tooth or gum is tender, let your hygienist know, however keen you are to finish today.
Even on a tight schedule, you can agree on a signal that lets you request a break.
Between trips
When visits take more planning, what you do between them matters that much more. Before you head out, make sure you know what is expected of you, and what your team should hear about.
If treatment was recommended, ask how many appointments it might take and how long each is expected to last.
Find out which questions the clinic could address over the phone, so that you don’t make a trip unnecessarily.
Keep your hygienist’s brushing and interdental tips in mind, as they’re what carries you through to the next visit.
If a new concern comes up after you’re home, call and describe it before planning another trip.

Ask our teamOften the two are booked together, but your oral health and the time needed will affect that. Tell the clinic you’re coming in from outside Winnipeg, and ask what would be realistic.
It varies with your history and the amount of buildup, along with whether X-rays are needed. Say when you last had care, and ask for a sense of the time before you arrive.
Before your appointment, ask the clinic about transferring recent images from your previous office. Whether new ones are needed is something your dentist decides based on what is clinically appropriate.
Ask your dentist what is urgent and what can be planned, along with how many appointments may be involved. Knowing this lets you work out your trips before you agree to anything.
Telephone the clinic and say what you are feeling. Don’t use the form for anything urgent, and don’t wait for your next planned trip into the city to mention a problem that is worrying you.
Your recall interval is something to settle with your team, based on your teeth, gums, health, and home care. If getting in is a challenge, mention it so it’s part of the conversation.
Care takes place at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6. To begin, send the form or phone (204) 338-3003, and the clinic will be in touch to confirm the details.
