Permanent teeth change what you should do after an injury. Phone our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg, tell us your child’s age, and describe what happened to the tooth.
Let's find a time
Waterford Green is in Winnipeg, and families there who are dealing with a mouth injury in a teen or older child receive care at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. A permanent tooth has no replacement waiting underneath it, so a fracture, a wobble or a tooth driven out of position deserves a phone call rather than a wait-and-see approach.
Young people often play down what happened, or show you the damage hours later. Either way, ring the clinic and pass along what you know: how the injury occurred, when it took place, and whether anything is getting worse. Those answers tell us how urgently your child should be assessed.

If an adult tooth is knocked out, touch only the part that normally shows above the gum, and never the root.
Milk or a tooth-preservation solution can keep a knocked-out permanent tooth from drying while you seek care right away.
An injury should not sit in an inbox. Speaking to the clinic is how you find out what to do next.
Some injuries leave the tooth out of the mouth. Many others leave it in place but damaged, and those can be easier to underestimate.
An adult tooth can sometimes be replanted, and the clock matters. Whether that is possible can only be judged by a dentist.
A chipped, cracked, loosened or shifted permanent tooth needs an examination too, even when your teenager insists it feels fine.
These steps protect the area for the moment. They cannot take the place of an examination by a dentist.
Parents usually want to know what will happen before they arrive. In general, an urgent visit for a damaged tooth runs along these lines.
Request your visitWe ask about the injury and your child’s symptoms in order to gauge how soon they should come in. Mention whether a tooth is missing or has moved.
The dentist checks the injured area and the teeth around it. X-rays may be taken if they would help show what cannot be seen from the outside.
Treatment at this stage aims to settle discomfort and reduce the risk to the tooth, which can include dealing with a sharp or fractured edge.
You and your child hear the diagnosis and the realistic options. When more care is required, it is arranged as a follow-up rather than rushed.
Nobody thinks clearly right after an injury. If you can collect a few things before leaving the house, the dentist will have more to work with.
Call 911 or head for emergency medical care if your child has trouble breathing or swallowing, lost consciousness, has severe facial swelling or a serious facial injury, or is bleeding in a way you cannot control.
A pale blue dental chair, and the blue bench in our waiting area.
A teen may feel embarrassed, scared about how the tooth looks, or anxious about needles. Let us know, or encourage your child to say so, because worries are easier to work with once they are out in the open.
Your child can ask what an instrument does, or why an X-ray is being suggested, before any of it happens.
Pointing out exactly where it hurts is helpful, and it gives a nervous patient a job to do.
A young person worried about a visible front tooth can bring that up, and the options can be talked through.
In the weeks ahead
Depending on the damage, the urgent visit may be the first stage of treatment. Before you leave, make sure you understand what still has to be done and why.
A fractured tooth might need further restoration at a separate appointment. The dentist can explain which repairs suit the injury that was found.
If new pain, swelling or a change in the tooth shows up afterward, do not wait for a scheduled appointment. Phone and describe it.
Ask when any further treatment should take place, so that it can be planned around your family’s week.

Helpful details about emergency dentistry in Waterford Green.
Ask our teamThere can be. An adult tooth may sometimes be replanted, though time plays a big part. Keep it wet in milk or preservation solution, avoid touching the root, and phone a dentist at once.
Give us your child’s age and point out which tooth was hurt as well as you can. Baby teeth must never be put back in, so tell us if you are unsure which kind it is and do not guess.
A lack of pain does not tell you how deep a break goes. Since an examination is the way to find out, it makes sense to phone and describe the chip.
Seek emergency medical care first for serious facial trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of consciousness, severe swelling of the face, or any trouble breathing or swallowing. The tooth can be dealt with after that danger has been addressed.
Some problems can be treated then. Others call for stabilizing the tooth first and returning for a separate appointment, and the dentist will tell you which applies once the injury has been examined.
Phone (204) 338-3003 and describe what happened. Please call before coming in whenever you can, since availability and urgency vary and the conversation lets us advise you properly.
Only an examination can show what your child’s tooth needs. These pages explain some of the care that may come up afterward.
