A dental problem just before you travel leaves you with little time to decide. Phone our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg with your symptoms and your departure date.
Let's find a time
It is tempting to pack some pain relievers and hope the tooth behaves. But a dental problem can change while you are away, somewhere you have no dentist to phone. If a tooth is sore, swollen, broken or missing its crown, find out what you are dealing with before you leave.
For Park View residents, the visit itself happens at Winnipeg North Dental, on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg. Give us your symptoms when you call and say when you are due to go. The dentist cannot promise that everything will be finished beforehand, but knowing your timing makes for a more useful conversation.

Mention when you leave and when you are back, right along with what your tooth is doing.
After an examination, ask which care needs to come first and which could follow your return.
Even if treatment is not complete, a diagnosis means you are not travelling on a guess.
Your travel dates matter, but your tooth sets the terms. A dentist can only tell you what is realistic after examining it.
The purpose is a diagnosis and attention to immediate risk or discomfort, which could include stabilizing the tooth.
These are questions for you to ask at your appointment. The answers will depend on what the dentist finds.
Definitive treatment may take a separate appointment. If your departure date is close, be open about that when arranging your care.
A trip on the calendar does not change the steps, but it does make each of them more important. Here is the usual sequence.
Request your visitDo not leave it until the night before you go. Describe your symptoms and your dates, and the clinic will ask further questions to gauge the urgency.
The dentist goes over what you have been feeling and examines the area, adding X-rays where they are called for.
If something needs addressing right away, that happens first. The aim is to reduce discomfort and any risk to the tooth.
With the diagnosis in hand, go through your treatment options and ask how the timing of your trip affects them.
You have enough to organize already. A short list helps you avoid leaving the clinic and remembering what you meant to ask.
Should you experience severe swelling of the face, trouble breathing or swallowing, bleeding you cannot control, a serious facial injury or a loss of consciousness, call 911 or the local equivalent, or get emergency medical care, wherever you happen to be.
A consultation desk, and window seating that includes a small child’s chair.
When you are thinking about flights and packing, it is easy to agree to things just to get out the door. Slow down long enough to understand your options, and let us know if the deadline is making you anxious.
A rushed visit is easy to forget, so bring your questions on paper and note the answers beside them.
Tell the dentist if the trip is firm or can be changed, since that may affect what you discuss.
Rushing does not mean you have to put up with a sore spot in silence during your appointment.
When you get home
After time away, it is easy to forget that a tooth was only stabilized before you left. Plan for what still has to be done before the trip pushes it out of your mind.
If treatment remains, ask about arranging it for after your return so that it is not left open.
Avoid sticky or hard foods if you have lost a restoration, and keep household glue off any dental work, even in a pinch.
Worsening pain or new swelling should not simply be endured until you land. Ask at your visit what to do in that event.
Back home and something still feels wrong? Phone the clinic and tell us.

Helpful details about emergency dentistry in Park View.
Ask our teamPain medication does not tell you what the problem is, or whether it may worsen during your trip. Phone first, so that we can ask about your symptoms and help you decide what to do.
We cannot say without an examination. Some situations can be dealt with at one visit, while others need stabilizing now and a return appointment for the permanent treatment.
Keep the crown safe and bring it with you, and stick to foods that are not sticky or hard. Do not reattach it with household glue, and phone the clinic to talk it through.
That is a question for the dentist to answer after looking at your situation. Call before you leave if you have swelling, a fever or a bad taste around a tooth, and seek emergency medical care for severe symptoms.
Hold an adult tooth by its crown, keep it moist in milk or preservation solution, and see a dentist immediately wherever you are. Baby teeth are the exception, and they must not be reinserted.
Call (204) 338-3003 and tell us you are travelling soon. Please do not rely on the form or walking in, as availability varies and the clinic will want to talk with you first.
