Can I just take pain relievers with me and deal with it when I get back?+
Pain 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.
Can everything be finished before I leave?+
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.
My crown came off just before my trip. How do I handle that?+
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.
Is it safe to travel with a dental infection?+
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.
What do I do if a tooth is knocked out while I am away?+
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.
How should a Park View resident get in touch before a trip?+
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.
