The tooth is bugging you, but you hardly feel entitled to call it an emergency. This page helps you choose between phoning our McPhillips Street clinic now and sending a non-urgent request.
Let's find a time
Some dental problems arrive with a bang. Others only nag: a slight tenderness, a rough patch, a spot that catches floss. It would feel silly to phone in a panic, and yet it does not seem right to ignore it either. If you live in Whyte Ridge and keep going back and forth, you should know that you do not have to judge correctly on your own.
Winnipeg North Dental, on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, does not expect you to decide whether a concern counts. Describe what you notice, and let the team guide the next step. As a working rule, anything painful, swollen, broken or changing calls for the phone. The appointment form is meant for matters that are truly not pressing.

A symptom that is getting worse belongs on the phone, however small it began.
A settled, painless concern can often begin with a written, non-urgent request.
When you cannot tell which camp you are in, a conversation will help settle it.
These groupings are not a diagnosis, and a problem can move from one list to the other at any time. They only help you pick the more suitable first contact.
These fit the concerns that should not wait, even when the symptoms still seem tolerable to you.
If everything here applies and nothing above does, a written request is a reasonable place to begin.
Neither list applies to a medical emergency. For difficulty breathing or swallowing, major facial swelling, unstoppable bleeding, unconsciousness or a serious injury to the face, call 911 or seek emergency medical care.
Whichever way you start, you will end up in the same place: a dentist figuring out what is happening. The early stages differ only a little.
Request your visitBy phone you get focused questions right away. By form you describe your request, and the clinic follows up to confirm any time.
Your answers on what began, when, and whether it is changing help the team work out how soon you ought to be seen.
Your dentist reviews your history and symptoms, inspects the area and may decide X-rays would be useful.
You learn what is causing the issue, and what your choices are. If more treatment is required, it is scheduled separately.
Whether you phone or fill out the form, it helps to have specifics ready. Think about where the problem is, when you first noticed it and how it has behaved since then.
If the symptom gets worse after you send a form, do not wait for a reply. Pick up the phone and explain what has changed.
Window seating in the waiting area and a consultation room.
Calling about something that turns out to be minor is not a waste of anybody’s time. The source of concern gets looked at, you find out it is small, and you get to stop thinking about it. That is a good result.
There is no need to begin with sorry for bothering you, unless that helps you.
If you think it may be small, say so, then describe it and hear what is advised.
If it can wait, ask which changes would mean you ought to call back.
If it turns out to be small
An in-between symptom can lead to reassurance, a filling, or something more involved. Knowing which situation you are in is worthwhile, whichever it may be.
If you are told to watch something, those notes make any later comparison easier.
A concern that can wait still needs a date, or it may get forgotten.
Pain, swelling or fever that appears later moves you straight onto the phone list.
You can also phone (204) 338-3003 if you are not sure which option applies to your situation.

Ask our teamThere is no threshold you need to meet. You do not need to decide whether it counts as an emergency before contacting the clinic. If it is on your mind, describing it is reasonable.
No timeline can be promised here. The form is a request and does not hold an appointment until the clinic confirms. For anything that cannot wait for a response, use the phone.
Call right away and mention that you already sent a request. New pain or swelling changes the picture, and it is better to discuss that directly than to wait for a reply.
If the edge is sharp or irritating your tongue or cheek, or something has broken off, phone. If it is a small, painless change you want checked, the form can be a fine place to start.
Raise it with the clinic, and phone if it comes with swelling or pain or keeps getting worse. A dentist can tell you what it means after a look. Bleeding you cannot control is a reason for emergency medical care.
If the issue turns out to be minor, that is useful information in itself. Either way, the purpose of the conversation and any visit is to understand the problem and outline any next steps.
When you are in doubt, phoning (204) 338-3003 is the more direct choice. The person on the line can help you work out whether you should be seen soon, and any visit would be on McPhillips Street.
