The short version

Urgent Dental Help in Winnipeg North: What to Do First

You want an address, a number and an idea of what happens next, so here they are. The clinic sits on McPhillips Street in the northern part of the city, the phone number is (204) 338-3003, and the first step is a conversation about your symptoms.

During that call, say what happened, when it started and whether things are changing. From there the clinic can gauge how urgently you need to come in. The dentist’s job at the visit is threefold: diagnose the problem, deal with immediate pain or risk, and spell out any further treatment.

Phone before you leave

A quick call lets the clinic advise you and get ready, since urgency and appointment openings both vary.

A known address

All care happens in one place: our McPhillips Street clinic, in north Winnipeg.

Straight answers

Expect a plain account of the diagnosis and the treatment choices that are realistic for you.

What we can look at

Pain, swelling, breaks and lost restorations.

These are the urgent complaints that most often need a dentist’s attention. Here is what each group tends to involve at an assessment.

When the tooth hurts or the gum swells

The dentist works out whether infection, decay or something else is responsible, because treatment depends on that answer.

  • Severe toothaches and sensitivity get examined at the source.
  • An X-ray can be taken if the dentist needs one.
  • Infection may be addressed directly or with medication when clinically indicated.

When a tooth or restoration is damaged

A broken edge, a loose adult tooth or a missing crown can leave the area vulnerable until it is stabilized.

  • Chipped, cracked and knocked-out teeth are checked for the extent of the damage.
  • Sharp edges and immediate risks are dealt with where possible.
  • Lost fillings, crowns and bridges are reviewed to decide what the tooth needs.

Do not phone a dental clinic first for difficulty breathing or swallowing, severe facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of consciousness or a serious facial injury. Call 911 or seek emergency medical care instead.

Four stages

Assess, stabilize, explain, plan.

Those four words summarize an emergency visit at our clinic. The order stays about the same, while the content depends on what brought you in.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Assess

    Review of your symptoms, an examination and any appropriate X-rays aim to pinpoint a cause such as infection, a fracture, decay or trauma.

  2. 02

    Stabilize

    Next comes attention to whatever is most pressing, including discomfort, a jagged edge or a threat to the tooth itself.

  3. 03

    Explain

    You get the diagnosis in clear terms, followed by a look at the options that genuinely fit your situation.

  4. 04

    Plan

    If definitive treatment cannot be finished during this appointment, the dentist arranges follow-up so the remaining work has a place to go.

Pocket checklist

Grab these on your way out the door.

There is no need to gather much, and pain or an injury should not be delayed over paperwork. If you have the following handy, they can help the visit go smoothly.

Holding on to a lost crown or filling? Stay away from sticky or hard foods in the meantime, and leave household glue out of it.

Worth bringing

  • Something that identifies you.
  • Your medications and known allergies, written down.
  • Your CDCP or insurance information.
  • The broken piece of tooth, or the displaced crown, bridge or filling.

Straight talk, kindly

Direct does not have to mean rushed.

Being efficient about an emergency should not cost you the chance to be heard. Tell the dentist what worries you most, and that concern can become part of the discussion.

Mention what scares you

Whether it is the pain, the procedure or the thought of losing a tooth, it helps to say so out loud.

Point to the exact spot

Details such as which side hurts and what sets it off give the examination a useful starting place.

Ask what happens next

Before anything begins, you are free to ask what the dentist plans to do and the reason for it.

After the first visit

Finish what the emergency started.

An urgent appointment often deals with the crisis and leaves some work for later. It pays to know what that work is before you go home.

01

Know your diagnosis

Leave able to name what caused the problem, because it shapes every later decision about the tooth.

02

Get the next visit organized

Where more treatment is recommended, speak with the front desk about arranging it rather than waiting for symptoms to return.

03

Report any change

New or worsening symptoms are a reason to phone us again; there is no need to wait for your scheduled visit.

Questions once you are home? The number stays the same: (204) 338-3003.
