Living alone means making the decisions yourself, even when you feel awful. Our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg is one call away, so you can talk the problem through with someone.
Let's find a time
When nobody else is in the house, small uncertainties get bigger. Is this serious? Can you get yourself there? What if you feel worse later? Those questions are all fair, and you do not have to answer them alone before picking up the phone.
Birds Hill is outside the City of Winnipeg, so seeing a dentist at Winnipeg North Dental means coming into the city. Describing your symptoms to the clinic gives you a clearer picture of how urgently you should be assessed, and you can bring up the practical side while you are on the line.

A phone call means you are not left to weigh up alarming symptoms all by yourself.
Find out whether anything planned for the visit could affect your ability to drive afterward.
Decide ahead of time what symptoms mean 911, so you do not have to work it out in the moment.
Walking in by yourself is easier if you already know what will happen. Details vary, but the dentist’s aims are consistent.
You describe what has been happening, and the dentist then looks at the area and works out why it is bothering you.
With nobody beside you to compare notes, feel free to ask for any part of it to be repeated.
Take notes on your phone during the conversation. Details are harder to remember later, particularly when you are sore and tired.
A few minutes of thinking ahead can make the day simpler. Use the questions here as prompts for the call.
Request your visitSymptoms sometimes worsen, and it is easier to make a plan while you still feel up to it. Tell the clinic what is happening and how it is changing.
Mention that you are on your own and coming from outside the city. Ask how long the visit may take and whether you should arrange a ride.
Set out with your phone, your list of medications and the clinic’s number, so you have what you need if plans shift.
Before you leave the clinic, repeat back what to do at home and which symptoms should prompt another call.
You will not have anyone reminding you what to bring, so a small pile by the door can take that off your mind.
If you are alone and your breathing or swallowing becomes difficult, your facial swelling turns severe, heavy bleeding will not stop, or you have a serious facial injury or a blackout, call 911 right away. Emergency medical care takes priority over any dental appointment.
Sunlit seating in our waiting area, and a white desk in a consultation room.
Many people attend urgent dental visits alone, and there is nothing unusual about being nervous. Tell the dentist how you are feeling. Ask them to slow down if you need more time to absorb what they say.
Want to double-check instructions at home? Ask whether they can be noted down for you.
If dental anxiety is part of this, naming it early lets the dentist talk it through with you.
Say the plan back in your own words. Any gaps tend to show up quickly when you do.
Back at your place
Once you are home, it is easy to talk yourself out of worrying about a change in symptoms. Keep the instructions handy and take any change seriously.
A text to a friend or relative means somebody knows you have had dental treatment and may check on you.
New swelling or pain that is climbing deserves a call to the clinic, even if it seems minor.
Add any further appointment right away, including time for coming in from Birds Hill and returning home.
Should the follow-up date no longer work, call the clinic to discuss another one.

Ask our teamYou do not have to judge that yourself. Tell the clinic about your pain, swelling or injury and the questions they ask will help work out how urgently you should be seen. Breathing trouble, swallowing trouble or severe swelling means 911.
Ask when you phone, and again before treatment starts. The answer can depend on what the dentist recommends for your tooth, so it is worth raising early.
That is a good question for the call. Ask what is possible when you phone, so you can make your arrangements before you leave.
