No vehicle today, no ride until tomorrow, or weather that has you staying put? Phone our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg anyway, and be honest about when you could get there.
Let's find a time
Stony Mountain is outside the City of Winnipeg, and dental care at Winnipeg North Dental means coming into the city. So what happens if the car is in the shop, your ride is at work, or the weather has turned? For a sore tooth, that delay can feel like a second problem.
Being unable to leave right away does not need to stop you from making the call. The clinic can hear your symptoms, and you can explain what is holding you up. You then have a better idea of how much the timing matters, and of which changes would mean finding another way in.

It is still useful to describe your symptoms, even when you cannot yet say when you will arrive.
Be specific about when you could make it. That allows the clinic to respond to your situation.
Some symptoms mean getting emergency help immediately, whatever has become of your transportation.
These general steps can help while arrangements come together, though none of them replaces an examination.
A little care at home can protect the area, as long as the delay is not becoming a reason to skip treatment.
Injury changes how quickly things matter. With a knocked-out adult tooth, finding a ride needs to become the priority.
None of this means the visit can be cancelled. Once you can get in, the tooth still needs to be examined.
How this goes will depend on your symptoms and your circumstances, but these are the conversations that tend to matter.
Request your visitExplain your symptoms, including when they began and how they are changing, and tell the clinic when you think you could come in.
Think about who could give you a ride, or what else could get you there, in case you are advised not to wait.
Worsening symptoms or an unexpected ride can both change the picture, and the clinic should hear about either one.
Once you arrive, the dentist reviews how things progressed during the wait, examines the area and discusses treatment.
A ride can come together with little warning. A packed bag means you will not lose time looking for papers.
Waiting for a ride is not an option if you are having difficulty breathing or swallowing, your facial swelling is severe, you have had a serious injury to your face, your bleeding is uncontrolled, or you have lost consciousness. Call 911 for emergency medical care.
Potted plants at our reception counter, and a pale blue chair in a treatment room.
Lots of people worry that they will be judged if they could not come sooner. You can simply explain what happened. The dentist needs to know how your tooth has been doing, and that is what the discussion is about.
Say what got in the way. It is useful context, not something you need to apologize for.
Find out if the delay changes anything about your tooth or your options.
If follow-up visits may also be difficult to reach, say so at the beginning so you can talk it through.
Planning your next way in
If you found it hard to get here the first time, the next appointment deserves some thought. It is better to plan it now than to scramble again.
Find out how many more appointments are expected and whether the remaining work could reasonably be combined.
Once you have a follow-up date, line up transportation from Stony Mountain as soon as you can.
Think about what you would do if the ride falls through, and call the clinic early if that happens.
If you cannot make a follow-up after all, please let the clinic know instead of skipping it.

Helpful details about emergency dentistry in Stony Mountain.
Ask our teamYes. Describing your symptoms helps show how urgently you should be assessed, and that may affect how hard you try to find a ride.
No general answer would apply to every tooth. Tell the clinic what you have, and how long you expect the delay to be, and ask for their advice on that specific situation.
Keep an adult tooth moist in milk or a preservation solution, holding only the crown. Phone right away, because time matters, and explain that you still need to find a way to get in.
Severe swelling in the face, or any difficulty breathing or swallowing, means calling 911. If your symptoms have not reached that point, phone the clinic and describe exactly how they have changed.
Phone as soon as you can instead of assuming the next date will be fine. Let them know how your tooth has been doing, so timing can be discussed.
Use the phone line, (204) 338-3003. Availability varies, so when you call, it helps to mention both your symptoms and when you think you can reach Winnipeg.
Some of these treatments can involve more than one appointment. Ask how many your tooth would need before you arrange your rides.
