Should I make the trip to Winnipeg with a sore tooth?+
Phone first so the symptoms can be discussed before you decide. We can ask how things have developed and help you judge how urgently you should be seen.
Do you need my dental records from another clinic?+
We can work from your symptoms and our own examination, but past records can add useful context. Ask us about transferring them, and bring the contact details for your previous office.
Could I need a second trip for the same tooth?+
Possibly. Some treatment can be completed during the emergency appointment, whereas other problems need stabilizing and definitive care at a later date. Being upfront about how far you came lets the dentist weigh that when timing is talked over.
What if things get much worse while I am on the road?+
Breathing or swallowing difficulty, rapidly spreading swelling, bleeding that will not stop or serious facial trauma all call for emergency medical care right away, wherever you happen to be.
Can I bring my CDCP or insurance information from home?+
Please do. Benefits depend on your plan and the services provided, so ask us what information we need and how an estimate could be prepared.
How do Manitoba patients request a visit?+
Urgent trouble goes by phone, at (204) 338-3003, wherever in the province you happen to be. Less pressing concerns can come through the request form on this page, and a reply from the clinic will work out timing around your trip.
