Someone else always booked the dentist, and now it is your call. Nobody expects you to know how this works. Phone our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg and say what is going on.
Let's find a time
Maybe your parents always handled this. Maybe you have only just moved out, or your benefits came from a family plan that you have since left. Whatever the case, a cracked tooth or a sudden ache can leave you unsure who to call and what to say.
It is simpler than it seems. North Kildonan is an area in Winnipeg, and care for residents takes place at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. You describe your symptoms on the phone, answer some questions, and hear what to do next. You do not need to know any dental terms.

Explain what is wrong in everyday language. The clinic’s questions will guide the rest of the conversation.
If you have insurance or CDCP, look up your details. If you are unsure, it is fine to say so.
You may have never done this, so no question about how it works is a silly one.
An urgent appointment is not the same as a routine cleaning. Its purpose is narrower, and it is helpful to go in knowing that.
The visit focuses on your immediate problem. A dentist finds the cause and deals with what cannot wait.
You could finish with more to do, and that is normal. It does not mean anything went wrong.
If anything in the plan is unclear, ask before agreeing to it. That includes asking what something costs and whether it can wait.
If this is your first time, these are the basics. Your own experience will depend on your tooth and on what the clinic advises.
Request your visitSay you have a dental problem and tell them what happened. They need to know when it started and if it has been changing.
Check when you should arrive. Bring your documents, and tell the front desk you called about an urgent problem.
You will likely be asked about any medical conditions, medications and allergies, because these can affect your dental care.
The dentist explains the problem and your options. Ask for an estimate if you need one, then decide on any follow-up.
No one should expect a perfect file. If you are missing something, bring what you have and let the clinic know.
This one is important to remember: when someone cannot breathe or swallow properly, faints, has serious facial trauma, severe swelling across the face or bleeding that keeps going, the right response is 911 or emergency medical care, ahead of any dentist.
Chairs at a desk in a consultation room, and a light blue chair in a treatment room.
It can feel awkward to admit that you do not know when your last dental visit was, or what work has been done. Simply say so. The dentist can examine your teeth, and you can ask what you would like explained.
Letting the clinic know means they can explain things that might otherwise be taken for granted.
Costs can feel awkward to discuss. It is still a normal question to ask before you commit.
If you are worried about the visit, tell the dentist so that your concerns can be discussed.
Building your own dental routine
You may leave with an unfinished plan and a few new questions. It is also a chance to start keeping track of your own dental health.
Keep a note of what was found, what was done and which follow-up treatment you were advised to get.
A stabilized tooth may feel fine, but it still needs the later treatment. Ask how soon that should be.
If you have fallen out of the habit, ask how routine dental visits might fit in once this is sorted out.
Unexpected change, such as more swelling? Phone the clinic with what you are noticing.

Ask our teamSomething like this works: I have a dental problem, this is what happened, and this is how it feels. From there, the clinic asks about what it needs to know.
Tell them what you remember and do not worry about the gaps. The dentist can examine your teeth, and you can ask whether any previous records would be useful.
Check with your plan or your family if you can, but do not let it delay a call about an urgent problem. Coverage depends on your plan and the services provided, so be upfront if you are not sure.
An urgent appointment focuses on your immediate concern. If other issues are noticed, the dentist can tell you about them, and you can discuss what to do at a later time.
Ask. It is reasonable to request an estimate once the dentist has recommended something, and to ask which parts are pressing if you need to think about your options.
It is better to phone first, at (204) 338-3003. Availability and urgency vary, and a short call means the clinic can give you some advice before you go.
