A hard landing on a slippery step can jar, chip or loosen teeth, sometimes in ways you only notice later. Check for serious injury first, then phone our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
One moment you are heading out to the car, and the next you are sitting on the ground with a split lip and a strange feeling in your bite. Grown-ups tend to brush themselves off and carry on, and people in Transcona are no different. A knock that travels through the chin can still affect teeth that look perfectly ordinary.
Sort out the medical side first, since any serious facial injury goes to emergency care. Then call Winnipeg North Dental and say how you fell, which teeth feel different and whether anything is missing. Dental assessment takes place at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.

A head strike, heavy bleeding or fainting takes priority over any question about your teeth.
If a tooth or fragment came out, look for it, because the dentist may want to see it.
Note anything loose, sharp, out of line or newly sore, and report it when you call.
Dental injuries after a tumble range from a small chip to a displaced or missing tooth. Saying exactly what you notice helps the clinic judge how soon you need to be seen.
Your teeth may feel fine at first, so check again once the shock has passed and you have warmed up.
Trauma cases focus on finding what was injured and protecting what can be protected, as far as the situation allows.
Slipping can injure more than your mouth, and these signs mean a dentist is not the first stop. Call 911 or get emergency medical care after any loss of consciousness, for a serious injury to the face, for bleeding you cannot stop, or for severe facial swelling or any trouble with breathing or swallowing.
The severity of the injury shapes everything here. This sequence is general, and the dentist’s findings can change the order or the priorities.
Request your visitShare when you fell, what hit first and what feels different in your mouth. Questions from the clinic are meant to determine how quickly you need attention.
Hold a knocked-out adult tooth by its crown, rinse any dirt off without scrubbing and keep it moist in milk. Time matters, so call straight away.
Lips, gums and teeth around the injury are all examined. X-rays may be taken if the dentist wants to look below the surface.
After the immediate concerns have been addressed, you will review what was injured, realistic options and any return visit that may be needed.
A jolt can leave you rattled, so keep this simple. Pieces of tooth go in a small container, a cool compress stays on the outside of your face and hard chewing can wait.
If someone else is getting you to the clinic, let them help you gather these things and make the phone call.

Being hurt in an ordinary moment can stay with you for a while. If you are sore elsewhere or still feeling shaky at your visit, it is reasonable to say so before anything starts.
A stiff neck or sore wrist may affect how comfortably you can sit, so point that out.
If your mouth is tender or cut, tell the dentist before anything needs to be stretched open.
An injury can bring a lot of information at once, so ask for the plan in small steps.
In the weeks after the fall
An injured tooth does not always reveal everything on day one. Ask the dentist what to watch for, and when you ought to come back so it can be rechecked.
New pain, swelling or a change in how the tooth feels should be reported, rather than ignored.
Until you are told otherwise, spare the injured area from biting on anything hard or sticky.
Any follow-up that was arranged lets the dentist see how the tooth is doing over time.
Even if the fall was weeks ago, a tooth that starts bothering you is a good reason to phone (204) 338-3003.

Helpful details about emergency dentistry in Transcona.
Ask our teamIt is worth calling, especially if your bite feels different or any tooth is tender. A blow to the chin can pass force to the teeth, and some damage is not obvious in a mirror.
Have a quick look or ask someone to search while you call the clinic, because getting help promptly matters for a knocked-out adult tooth. If it cannot be found, tell the dentist that as well, and still get the area assessed.
Emergency medical care comes first for a serious facial injury, loss of consciousness, uncontrolled bleeding, or trouble with breathing or swallowing. If the problem seems limited to your teeth, phone the dental clinic and describe it.
Yes, mention any cut along with your tooth concerns. If bleeding will not stop or the injury is severe, get emergency medical care rather than waiting to speak with the clinic.
Not at all. Delayed tenderness, a tooth that feels loose or a bite that seems wrong can all be reasons to get assessed. Tell the clinic when the accident happened and what you have noticed since.
Telephone (204) 338-3003 and explain what happened. Please skip the form for an injury, because the clinic needs to ask questions and advise you before you make your way to McPhillips Street.
