When several teeth are causing trouble, it can be hard to know where to begin. Call our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg and mention all of them, including the ones that hurt less.
Let's find a time
Perhaps one tooth aches, another has a broken corner and a filling has gone missing from a third. It can feel overwhelming, and some people put off calling because they do not know how to explain it or how much it might involve. Sorting out what comes first is part of what an urgent visit is for.
Selkirk is outside the City of Winnipeg, so residents come into the city for care at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. An urgent visit generally focuses on what is pressing. Whatever remains can then be arranged as a plan, in an order that you and the dentist have talked through.

Mention each problem you have noticed, as a lesser one could turn out to matter more.
Let the clinic know which symptom is worst, and which one is changing fastest.
Once you know what has been found, ask which issue comes first, and why.
Not everything has to be dealt with at once, and often it cannot be. The first task is finding out which trouble is most pressing.
The dentist considers each concern and identifies what poses the most immediate risk or discomfort.
A wider conversation may come after the immediate problem has been dealt with, including realistic choices for the remaining teeth.
A full picture of your mouth may take more than one conversation. Urgent care addresses what cannot wait, and the rest can be planned.
It rarely feels this tidy in real life. Even so, thinking in stages can stop the whole thing from seeming too big to begin.
Request your visitBefore you call, note each tooth or area that bothers you, how it feels, and how long it has been that way.
On the phone, begin with whatever is most painful or changing most, then add the others. Do not leave anything out because it seems minor.
After an examination, along with X-rays when required, the dentist explains what is going on with the teeth you mentioned.
Before heading back to Selkirk, ask what should be done next and how soon, and make sure you know which tooth it concerns.
Your memory of which tooth does what can blur when you are in pain. A brief list keeps things clear.
Whatever else is happening with your teeth, severe swelling of the face, trouble with breathing or swallowing, bleeding that does not stop, a serious facial injury or fainting means you should call 911 or get emergency medical care.
Chairs by the window in our waiting area, and a desk in a consultation room.
It is easy to feel embarrassed about having more than one problem, particularly if some have been around for a while. Tell the dentist what has kept you away, if you would like to. What matters now is working out what your teeth need.
If the list begins to feel like too much, ask the dentist to focus on the first decision.
It is fair to bring up your budget and your schedule when talking about the order of treatment.
Ask for the key points to be repeated at the end, so you leave knowing what comes next.
After the urgent part is over
When the worst tooth stops hurting, the other problems may not seem so important. They may still need treatment, so keep your list and revisit it.
Mark each tooth with what was found and what you were advised, then keep the list where you can find it.
Ask how many visits the rest of the plan may take, and how you might arrange them from Selkirk.
A tooth on your list that begins to hurt more, or new swelling, is a reason to phone again.
If your priorities change or an appointment no longer suits, please speak with the clinic.

Ask our teamIt would be unusual to resolve several issues in a single sitting. The aim is to find the problems, deal with what is immediate, and arrange further appointments for anything that has to wait.
All of them, starting with whichever is most painful or getting worse. A problem that seems minor may still be useful information for the clinic.
Possibly. Pain can travel, so the area that feels sore may not be the true source. An examination is how the dentist works out what is happening.
You should feel able to say honestly how long things have been going on. That history helps the dentist assess your teeth, and the focus is on what needs doing now.
Ask for an estimate once treatment has been recommended, and bring your coverage details. Coverage varies by plan and service, so you may want to discuss the order of work with your budget in mind.
Phone (204) 338-3003 and describe what you have listed. Availability varies, so the clinic can suggest what to do before you travel into Winnipeg.
