A crown, bridge or filling placed in another country can still fail once you are back in Winnipeg. You do not need paperwork to phone our McPhillips Street clinic and describe what has happened.
Let's find a time
You had the treatment years ago in another country, perhaps while living there or on a long trip. It lasted well, until a bridge lifted, a crown came away or the tooth beneath started to throb. You cannot exactly pop back to that office, and for West End Winnipeg residents the practical question is where to begin.
Begin with a call to Winnipeg North Dental, at the clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, and share whatever you remember. Not knowing the materials or having no X-rays does not stop anyone from examining the tooth. The dentist looks at the current problem and explains your options based on what is there today.
Explore emergency dentistry
An examination and suitable X-rays can show a good deal about the tooth as it is now.
Keep a crown or bridge that came off, and leave household glue out of the picture.
A rough year, the type of work and past problems all add helpful background.
The aim of an urgent visit is the same whatever the history of the tooth: figure out what is wrong, take care of what cannot wait and go over realistic ways forward.
These help the clinic understand your situation, and it is fine to answer with I am not sure.
Since the original notes may be unavailable, the current condition of the tooth and surrounding area becomes the main source of information.
However the problem began, the warning signs are unchanged. Difficulty breathing or swallowing, intense facial swelling, unstoppable bleeding, a loss of consciousness or a serious facial injury mean calling 911 or going for emergency medical care.
Consider this a broad overview. Exact steps are determined by your symptoms, by what is in your mouth now and by what the dentist finds.
Request your visitDescribe what failed, when it began to bother you and whether it is changing. The clinic uses this to work out how soon you should be seen.
Your current medications and allergies are needed, whether or not they were prescribed in Canada. Bring the original names if you know them.
The dentist inspects the area and may take new X-rays, since these can show the present state of the tooth regardless of its background.
Immediate discomfort or risk is addressed where possible, and you will go over what was found, your options and any return appointment.
Dig through your phone or email, but only briefly. An old X-ray image, invoice or note from the original dentist could be useful, though none of them is a reason to delay a call.
If it is easier to explain your problem in another language, ask when you call what could be done, or write the main points down with someone’s help beforehand.

People get dental work in many places for many good reasons. You are entitled to clear information about what is going on with your tooth now, in terms you can follow.
Dental words vary from place to place, so ask to have anything unfamiliar explained simply.
If you are working in a second language, it is completely fine to ask someone to repeat things.
If you have other work from the same time, you can raise whether it should be looked at.
Building a local record
After an urgent visit, you will have a more recent picture of the tooth. Ask what has been recorded and what is still outstanding, so you are not starting from nothing next time.
Write down the treatment you received and the reason, and keep it with your other records.
A tooth that has been stabilized may still need a longer-term solution, so ask about timing.
Pain, swelling or fever that appears afterward is worth a prompt call to the clinic.
Have you found old records after your visit? Phone (204) 338-3003 and ask how you can pass them along.

Helpful details about emergency dentistry in West End Winnipeg.
Ask our teamThe dentist can examine the tooth and tell you what is possible once they have seen it. Where the earlier work was done is useful background, but the options depend on the current condition of your tooth.
Yes, you can still call and describe the problem. A lack of paperwork need not hold things up, because the dentist can examine the tooth and take X-rays if those are appropriate.
Sometimes that is something the dentist can consider, but it depends on the crown and the tooth beneath it. Keep it safe, avoid sticky or hard food on that side and bring it along for the assessment.
Please discuss that with a dentist first. Pain, swelling and an exposed tooth are not things to leave until a future trip, and an assessment here can show what is truly urgent and what is not.
Bring the packaging or a photo if you have it, with the original name and the strength. Any list you can provide will help, and you can tell the dentist if you are unsure of something.
That depends on your plan and on the treatment recommended, so a promise cannot be made here. Bring your insurance or CDCP information and ask the clinic how it applies to your visit.
Telephone (204) 338-3003 and say what kind of dental work has failed and how you are feeling. If you need help explaining things, a friend or relative could help you prepare what to say.
Terms for dental treatment differ from one country to the next. These pages explain what some common restorations are called here, and the dentist will advise on what applies.
