An urgent problem can take more than one appointment to resolve. Call our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg about what is happening, then ask how the visits may add up.
Let's find a time
East St. Paul is outside the City of Winnipeg, so an urgent dental problem means coming into the city for care at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. For people who have work and family to arrange around that, the first question is often practical: is this one trip, or will there be more?
The honest answer depends on the diagnosis. Sometimes treatment can be completed at the urgent visit. In other cases, the first appointment is for stabilizing the tooth, with the permanent care booked separately. Asking early helps you plan around whichever it turns out to be.

Once your tooth has been examined, find out how many appointments the dentist expects it to need.
An estimated length for your next appointment makes time away from home easier to arrange.
Knowing how soon the next step should happen helps you weigh it against your other commitments.
No page can tell you how many appointments your tooth will need. It can, however, explain why some urgent problems resolve quickly while others take longer.
This appointment concentrates on working out the problem and dealing with whatever cannot be put off.
Certain treatments simply cannot be finished in one sitting, or need to wait until the immediate problem has settled.
Ask for a rough estimate of the visits once the examination is done, and remember that it may change as treatment moves along.
Treat these as the points at which a planning question is especially useful. Your own care will follow what the dentist finds.
Request your visitPhone and describe your symptoms, when they started and whether they are changing. Ask how soon you should be coming in, and whether to expect a longer visit.
After reviewing your symptoms and any X-rays, the dentist can tell you what is causing the trouble. Now is the time for your questions about visits.
Once the immediate problem has been addressed, ask what the follow-up treatment involves and how soon it should take place.
If something changes at home, such as new pain or swelling, phone the clinic. You may not need to wait for your scheduled appointment to talk it over.
You can raise any of these when you first call, though some may only be answerable after an examination. Having them in mind can make your planning less of a scramble.
A trip to the dentist is not the right step if you have swallowing or breathing difficulty, serious injury to your face, severe swelling in your face, uncontrolled bleeding or a loss of consciousness. Dial 911 or seek emergency medical help for those.

It is reasonable to feel daunted when one sore tooth starts to affect your whole week. Let us know what would make things easier, and ask whatever you need in order to feel comfortable with the plan.
Mention constraints such as shifts or child care, and ask how they could fit around the treatment your tooth requires.
It is easier to commit to a return trip once you understand why it should not be skipped.
Tell the dentist if dental anxiety might make you reluctant to come back, so you can talk about it directly.
Staying on track from home
Once you are back home, the urgency may fade along with the pain. Unfinished treatment can still matter, so keep the next step on your calendar.
Note down what is due and approximately when. If no appointment has been set, phone the clinic to ask how to arrange one.
You may save yourself an unnecessary trip by describing a new symptom over the phone and asking what to do.
A single folder or phone note for estimates and instructions makes each later visit a little simpler.

Helpful details about emergency dentistry in East St. Paul.
Ask our teamNo one can say before an examination. Once the dentist has identified the problem, ask how many appointments are likely, understanding that this can change if new findings come up.
It depends on your diagnosis, as some treatment has to wait or take its own appointment. You can certainly mention that you are coming from outside the city and ask whether any of it can be done together.
Tell the dentist so before you leave, and ask what waiting may mean for that particular tooth. A stabilized tooth may not be fully repaired, so a long delay should not simply be assumed to be harmless.
You are welcome to call with questions or changes in your symptoms. The clinic can tell you whether what you describe sounds like something to discuss by phone or something to have examined.
Ask for one once the treatment has been recommended, and have your insurance or CDCP information ready. Coverage depends on your plan and on the services you receive.
Phone (204) 338-3003 and explain what your symptoms are. Calling before you make the trip is important, because availability varies and we can advise you on timing.
If a further treatment comes up, these pages explain it in general terms. Ask your dentist how many appointments your own care would involve.
