Work, kids and a full calendar make it easy to postpone a sore tooth. One quick call to our McPhillips Street clinic can tell you whether waiting is a sensible plan.
Let's find a time
Dental trouble seldom waits for a quiet stretch. Perhaps you have a shift to finish, a deadline, or nobody else to do the school run, and the tooth has been getting harder to ignore. Plenty of Templeton-Sinclair residents in that position talk themselves into waiting, without any real information about what waiting would mean.
A phone call gets you that information. Tell Winnipeg North Dental what happened, when it began and whether it is changing, and we can help judge how soon you should be assessed. If you do need to come in, the visit takes place at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, and you can ask what it might involve so you can rearrange your day.

A brief conversation can replace a week of wondering whether you are making things worse.
Symptoms that are building or spreading tell a different story than ones that are holding steady.
How long a visit runs depends on the problem, so raise this when you speak with the clinic.
You are not expected to sort this out alone, and describing what is happening is enough. Even so, it helps to know which situations the clinic wants to hear about promptly.
These problems put a tooth or your health at greater risk, so they are poor candidates for the next free afternoon.
These can feel more like a nuisance than a crisis, yet leaving them for weeks may expose a damaged tooth for longer than you realize.
Drop everything and call 911 or go for emergency medical care if there is difficulty breathing or swallowing, severe facial swelling, bleeding that will not stop, loss of consciousness or a serious injury to the face.
The appointment has a clear job, and knowing what it covers can help you plan around it.
Request your visitWe ask pointed questions about your symptoms so that the urgency is clear. This is also your chance to mention commitments you are trying to work around.
Decay, fracture, infection or trauma could each be responsible, so the dentist examines the area and takes X-rays when they are called for.
Immediate discomfort, sharp edges and risk to the tooth are addressed as far as possible during this appointment.
If lasting treatment needs another visit, you will talk about what it involves and can look at your calendar with a clear idea of what is needed.
A quick grab of the right items saves time when your day is already tight. A note on your phone works perfectly well for most of this.
Ask when you call whether anything else would be useful, and how long you should set aside if you are arranging time off or child care.

Rushing in from work with a sore mouth is stressful. Take a moment to tell the dentist what has been happening, what worries you and what you need to understand before going ahead.
It is fine to raise them, and the dentist can tell you what must happen now and what can be scheduled.
If you are tired, ask for the most important points first: what is wrong and what happens next.
Being busy does not mean you should push through. Let the dentist know when something hurts.
Back to your schedule
The relief after an urgent visit can make follow-up easy to postpone. If treatment was stabilized rather than finished, the remaining work is still waiting to be done.
Booking your next step while everything is fresh makes it far less likely to get lost in a busy month.
Ask which symptoms should prompt you to phone again before your next appointment, and keep that in mind.
Follow the home advice you were given, and go easy on that side if you have been asked to avoid chewing there.
Plans change. If you cannot make a follow-up visit, phone the clinic so you can talk about how long it should wait.

Helpful details about emergency dentistry in Templeton-Sinclair.
Ask our teamSometimes it can, and sometimes that would be a poor choice. Without knowing your symptoms nobody can say for certain, so call and describe them. Worsening pain, swelling or fever make waiting a much bigger gamble.
A pain reliever does nothing to show why the tooth hurts, and a quieter tooth may still have an active problem. Never place one directly on the gum or tooth, and speak with the clinic if the pain persists.
That varies with what you are dealing with and what the dentist finds. Ask when you call, and let us know what commitments you need to plan around.
Some problems can be completed immediately. Others are stabilized first, with definitive care set up for another appointment, and the dentist will explain what the second stage involves.
We can ask questions and offer guidance by phone, but phone advice never substitutes for an examination. The conversation helps determine how soon the dentist should see you.
Please phone first whenever possible. Urgency and appointment availability both vary, and speaking with you beforehand helps the team prepare and tell you what to do.
After a stabilizing visit, the next step might be one of these treatments. These pages explain what is involved so you can plan ahead.
