Pregnancy can make any health problem feel more complicated. Tell our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg that you are pregnant as soon as you phone, along with what your tooth is doing.
Let's find a time
When you are pregnant, you may hesitate over everything from pain relief to X-rays, and it can seem easier to hold off on seeing a dentist. A dental problem should still be described to someone, and the phone call does not commit you to any particular treatment.
Middlechurch is outside the City of Winnipeg, so people there come into the city to Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. Mention how far along you are and any instructions from your prenatal care provider. The dentist can then take that into account when discussing what the tooth needs.

Mentioning your pregnancy early means it can be part of the conversation from your first call.
You can ask about any X-ray, medication or procedure before you agree to it.
Bring the name and number of the person managing your prenatal care, in case it is useful.
This page cannot tell you which treatment is right during your pregnancy. That is a conversation for you, your dentist and your prenatal care provider.
As with any urgent visit, the dentist needs to identify what is causing your symptoms.
Having heard the diagnosis, you can go through the options, and raise anything that concerns you.
Please do not begin or stop medication because of a dental problem without getting advice from your health care provider or the clinic.
Knowing where you can pause and ask something may make the appointment feel less like something happening to you.
Request your visitSay that you are pregnant and how far along you are, then describe your symptoms. Ask if there is anything you should bring or find out beforehand.
Share your medication and allergy list, including any prenatal vitamins, and mention anything your care provider has told you to avoid.
If the dentist recommends an X-ray or medication, it is entirely reasonable to ask why and what the alternatives would be.
Make sure you know what to do at home, and when any remaining treatment should take place. Ask whether your prenatal care provider should be told.
The trip into Winnipeg is easier when you are not trying to remember details under pressure. A short written list will do.
Emergency medical care comes before the dentist for a serious facial injury, loss of consciousness, severe facial swelling, bleeding that cannot be controlled, or difficulty with swallowing or breathing. Phone 911 if you have any of these.
An upholstered blue bench in our waiting area, and a blue dental chair.
Being in pain while also worrying about the pregnancy can be exhausting. Let the dentist know what is on your mind, even if it seems small. If lying back or staying in one position feels uncomfortable, mention it too.
Tell the dentist if reclining makes you feel unwell or uneasy, so it can be discussed.
Ask how long you can reasonably think over any choice that is not pressing.
Heard something that worries you about dental care in pregnancy? Bring it up and ask the dentist directly.
In the weeks that follow
Treatment that is put off still needs a plan. Keep track of what remains to be done, and mention it at your next prenatal visit if the dentist suggests that.
Write down any treatment, X-ray or medication from your visit, ready for your own records and your care provider.
Ask how a later appointment would fit around your due date, so you are not left guessing.
Once you are back in Middlechurch, worsening pain or new swelling is a reason to contact the clinic again.
If your follow-up must be moved because of a prenatal appointment, please let the clinic know early.

Ask our teamYes, please do, and share how many weeks along you are. It belongs alongside your symptoms and medication list as part of your health information.
Talk it over with the dentist, who will consider what is being investigated and your stage of pregnancy. You can ask why an image is recommended, and you can also check with your prenatal care provider.
Please ask your prenatal care provider or pharmacist about medication. Whatever you use, do not place aspirin or any other medication directly on the gum or tooth.
Do not decide that without an assessment, particularly if you have pain, swelling or an injury. Phone the clinic, describe your symptoms, and ask which steps can wait and which should not.
The cause cannot be determined over the internet. Swelling of the gum, face or jaw is on the list of concerns to phone about, so call and let the clinic ask you some questions.
