Money worries keep many people from calling about a painful tooth. You can ask about costs and coverage at the same time you describe what is wrong.
Let's find a time
It is hard to think clearly about a toothache when another part of your mind is working out what it might cost. If you are in Inkster Gardens and have been holding off for that reason, you are hardly unusual. Yet not knowing can be worse than knowing, and a problem left alone may leave you with fewer choices.
A call to Winnipeg North Dental does not commit you to treatment. You explain your symptoms, we help judge the urgency, and you can ask what to expect financially. If you come in to our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, the dentist will explain what was found and which options are realistic, and you can ask for estimates before you decide.

Questions about the cost of a recommended treatment are reasonable at any stage of a visit.
Bring insurance or CDCP information, keeping in mind that it depends on your plan and the treatment.
Ask what needs attention now and what could be planned for another time.
Nobody can honestly quote a price for a tooth they have not examined, because the cause of your problem shapes the treatment. Knowing how the visit works should help you ask useful questions at each stage.
Your appointment can involve a few distinct parts, depending on what your situation requires.
You can bring these up on the phone, in the chair or at any point when a next step is proposed.
Please do not let money delay urgent medical care. Call 911 or head for emergency medical care if you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, major swelling in your face, bleeding you cannot stop, a loss of consciousness or a serious facial injury.
Every visit follows its own course. This outline points out natural moments to talk about what the next step involves.
Request your visitDescribe your symptoms and when they started, and we will use your answers to judge the urgency. Ask at this point what to bring regarding coverage.
The dentist assesses the area and may suggest X-rays. If it would help, ask why a particular image or test is recommended.
You will hear the diagnosis and your options. This is when a question about an estimate for each option makes the most sense.
If the dentist has stabilized the tooth, ask what remains to be done, why it matters and what would be involved in scheduling it.
You do not need to be an expert on your dental plan. Having your details ready simply makes it easier for you to have a useful conversation with the clinic about what your plan could apply to.
What you end up paying depends on your plan and the services provided, so ask for specifics for your situation. Writing down your questions beforehand may make the conversation easier.

Some people feel awkward bringing up finances in a dental office, particularly when they are in pain. It is a practical question, and asking it helps you make a decision you are comfortable with.
If budget matters for your decision, say so, so that the conversation about options can reflect that.
Ask for an explanation of any part of a recommendation or estimate that you do not follow.
If you are thinking of delaying treatment, find out what could happen to the tooth in the meantime.
Planning what comes next
If the dentist recommends more treatment, it helps to know what comes first. A clear order of priorities gives you a realistic way to plan ahead.
Ask which treatment matters most for protecting the tooth, and which items could be considered later.
Save whatever cost information you are given, so you can compare it with your plan before deciding.
Phone the clinic if your symptoms get worse, even when you have decided to put off further treatment.
Have a question about your coverage or follow-up after the visit? Call the clinic and ask.
