How do I decide if my tooth is urgent?+
You can’t always tell from home. If it’s painful, worsening or you’re concerned, treat it as a phone call and let the clinic guide you on what to do.
Can I describe the problem in the form?+
Yes, a few plain sentences are helpful. Keep the form for non-urgent concerns, because requests aren’t a way to reach someone right away.
What if nobody answers when I phone?+
Try again, and leave a message if that’s offered, with your name, number and what’s happening. Please don’t rely on the form for a problem that’s urgent.
My tooth stopped hurting before I got around to calling. Now what?+
Pain that fades doesn’t necessarily mean the cause has gone away. It’s still sensible to have the tooth assessed, and you can request that using the form.
Can you tell over the phone if I’ll need a filling?+
Not with certainty. Sensitivity and pain have various causes, so an examination is what determines the need. A phone call does help decide how soon to arrange one.
Which contact do Stony Mountain residents use for a broken filling?+
Phone (204) 338-3003 if it’s painful or feels urgent. Otherwise, the request form works too. Any care would be provided at our clinic on McPhillips Street.
