If you live with a medical condition, you may wonder how it fits with urgent dental care. Tell our McPhillips Street clinic about your health as well as your tooth when you call.
Let's find a time
When you already manage a chronic condition, regular prescriptions or a known allergy, a sudden tooth problem can raise extra questions. Will this affect my medication? What should I mention? For Northwood residents with a more complicated medical picture, having a toothache or swelling can bring on more worry than it would for someone with no such concerns.
The most helpful thing you can do is share the full picture. Winnipeg North Dental will ask about your symptoms when you call, and you can mention your health background at the same time. At an appointment in our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, the dentist reviews your history along with the tooth before talking through what can be done.

It helps to say what conditions you have when you phone, along with your dental symptoms.
A written list of medications and allergies is more reliable than memory under stress.
If you think your health may affect treatment, ask the dentist about it during the visit.
The aim of an urgent visit is the same for everyone: find the cause, address the immediate risk and explain your options. Your medical background simply forms part of the information the dentist considers.
You do not need to judge which details matter, because the dentist can decide what is relevant once you have said them.
The dental side of the appointment still centres on diagnosis and on managing whatever cannot wait.
Having other health concerns is one more reason to know the warning signs. Call 911 or seek emergency medical care for any trouble with breathing or swallowing, severe swelling in the face, uncontrollable bleeding, a loss of consciousness or a serious facial injury.
This gives you a general idea of how the visit is likely to go. Your own health and dental situation may change some of the details.
Request your visitSay what happened and when your symptoms started, then mention your conditions and medications. Those details can help us advise you properly.
The dentist goes through your symptoms and medical history. This is your opportunity to add anything you forgot to say when you phoned.
The area is examined and X-rays are taken if appropriate, so that you and the dentist can talk about the cause of your pain or swelling.
Immediate problems are addressed as far as they can be. You then review the diagnosis and options, and any follow-up that is needed is set up.
It can be difficult to recall exact doses and drug names when you are in pain. A photo of your pill bottles or a printed pharmacy record can be just as useful as a list you have written by hand.
If a doctor or specialist is involved in your care, it may be useful to have their name and contact details with you, in case the dentist asks about them.
The reception area and a treatment chair at our clinic.
You know how your body tends to respond, so it makes sense for you to speak up. If you are worried about how a treatment may affect you, say so and ask the dentist to explain what is being considered.
If you feel unwell on the day of your visit, let the clinic know as soon as you can.
If the dentist suggests a medication, ask how it fits with what you already take and mention your allergies.
If lying back or staying still for a long time is hard for you, ask what could be done.
Coordinating your care
After the urgent stage, you may have instructions and possibly a follow-up visit to keep track of. Keep your own records of anything new, so that they are at hand if your other health providers ask.
Add any new medication to your own list, and ask the dentist what you should do if you have questions.
When definitive treatment is planned, keep the appointment, and update the clinic about any health changes beforehand.
Tell the clinic about increasing pain, swelling or other changes that concern you after your visit.
Your other health providers can answer questions about your condition, and the dental clinic is the place to ask about your tooth.

Tell the clinic about them when you call, along with any other prescriptions. The dentist needs that information before deciding on treatment, and you can ask how it could affect your visit.
