If fear or a long gap kept you away, this is still a phone call you can make. Tell our McPhillips Street clinic what is happening, and mention that you are nervous.
Let's find a time
Lots of people arrive at a dental emergency by a long road: a bad experience years ago, a tooth they have been hoping about, a worry about what a dentist might say. If you live in Riverbend and that is your story, the pain has probably already made the decision that you kept postponing.
You do not need to explain or justify the gap. Phoning Winnipeg North Dental just means saying what is wrong and answering some questions about your symptoms. If you come in, the visit is about finding the problem and easing what is urgent, and you can tell the dentist how you feel about being there.

Your history matters clinically, but you are here for help, and that is the focus.
It is useful information, and you are welcome to share it on the phone or in the chair.
An urgent visit concentrates on the immediate problem, so other concerns can be taken up later.
Fear often comes from imagining the worst possible scenario. It can help to know that the priority is understanding your urgent problem, and that decisions are talked through with you.
Attention stays on what brought you in, whether that is pain, swelling, a broken tooth or lost dental work.
Being scared is easier to manage when you know what is going on, so information is a fair thing to ask for.
Fear of the dentist should never hold you back from urgent medical help. If you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, severe swelling in your face, uncontrolled bleeding, a loss of consciousness or a serious facial injury, call 911 or go for emergency care.
When the unknown is what bothers you most, a simple preview can help. Actual visits vary, but this is the general idea.
Request your visitYou describe your symptoms, and we ask a few targeted questions. Feel free to say at this stage that dental visits are hard for you.
Your symptoms and history are gone over before the dentist examines the area, and that is a good moment to say what you are dreading.
After the examination, and any X-rays that are needed, you can ask what was found before moving on to treatment.
Urgent needs are addressed where possible. Anything further is explained so that you can think about it, ask questions and plan a return visit.
A plan can make it easier to follow through once the appointment is set. Write down your worries ahead of time, because they can be hard to remember when your heart is pounding.
If your last dental visit was a long time ago, you do not have to remember all the details. Share what you can, and that is enough to begin with.
Inside Winnipeg North Dental, before any treatment begins.
Plenty of adults feel embarrassed by dental fear, but it needs no apology. Telling the dentist what upsets you, from the sounds to the feeling of not being in control, gives you both more to work with.
Knowing what is about to happen can make a big difference, so ask before anything starts.
Would it help to have a signal for when you need a moment? Raise the question with the dentist before you begin.
If you are concerned about feeling pain during treatment, ask what can be done about it for your visit.
Now that you have come in
Many people feel relieved simply to have a diagnosis. Whenever you feel ready, you can consider the follow-up treatment and regular care that may be recommended.
If the dentist has told you a tooth needs further treatment soon, try to act on that before pain returns.
Long gaps may leave several things to discuss, and you can ask which matter most and which can wait.
A check-up and cleaning can come next when you are ready, so that future problems are noticed earlier.
Having second thoughts about a next step? A phone call to talk it over is welcome.

Helpful details about emergency dentistry in Riverbend.
Ask our teamYou should not have to apologize for time away from dental care. It helps the dentist to know your history, but the reason for your visit is getting you the care you need now.
Yes. New and returning patients can phone (204) 338-3003 about urgent problems. Describe your symptoms and the clinic will help determine how urgently you should be seen.
Let the dentist know as soon as you can, and tell the clinic about your anxiety beforehand if possible. You are welcome to ask how a moment’s pause could be handled during your visit.
The dentist reviews your diagnosis and realistic options with you, and you can ask questions before deciding. Ask what would happen if you waited, particularly where a tooth or infection is involved.
A difficult diagnosis is still useful, as it gives you real choices. Ask the dentist to explain what was found, what can be done and what comes first.
For something minor, yes, and the clinic will reply to arrange the details. Pain, swelling or an injury should be handled by phone instead, as online requests do not secure a time.
