Not sure whether your tooth problem counts as an emergency? That is not yours to work out alone. Phone our McPhillips Street clinic and describe what is happening.
Let's find a time
Most people searching this page are in the middle of something unpleasant: a tooth that throbbed all evening, a chip from a fall, a crown sitting in the palm of their hand. Few of them know how serious it is, and that uncertainty is often the hardest part.
Patients from anywhere in Winnipeg can phone Winnipeg North Dental and simply explain what happened, when it began and whether it is getting worse. Those answers help us judge how soon you should be assessed, and an in-person visit then focuses on finding the cause and dealing with immediate discomfort or risk.

Describe the symptoms in your own words, and let the clinic help decide how urgent they sound.
The assessment looks for what is behind the problem, which may be decay, infection, a fracture or trauma.
You hear what was found and which realistic treatment options come next.
A short list can help when you are second-guessing yourself, although a concern that is missing from it may still be worth raising with us.
These symptoms can point to trouble inside a tooth or in the tissue around it, so they should not be left to see what happens.
Falls, collisions and failed dental work can each leave a tooth exposed, sharp-edged or out of position.
Certain symptoms belong with 911 or an emergency department before any dental visit: trouble breathing or swallowing, severe swelling of the face, bleeding that cannot be controlled, passing out or a serious facial injury.
Every emergency differs, so treat this as a general outline. It covers what usually happens once the clinic has heard your symptoms and arranged for you to come in.
Request your visitOn the phone, focused questions about your symptoms help establish how quickly you need to be seen. Please avoid arriving unannounced whenever you are able to call beforehand.
Your symptoms are reviewed and the area is examined. An X-ray may be taken if it is needed to show what cannot be seen by eye.
Depending on the findings, care may address pain or infection, smooth a sharp edge or stabilize the tooth so it is at less risk.
Some problems can be finished at this visit, while others call for a separate appointment for definitive treatment. You will know which applies to you and why.
Call first whenever you can. For a toothache or swelling, a warm salt water rinse and careful cleaning around the area may help, but never put aspirin or other medication directly on the tooth or gum.
These general suggestions may help protect the area, though they cannot take the place of an examination.
The chair and front desk you would meet at Winnipeg North Dental.
Dental pain and injuries are unsettling, and nobody expects you to be calm about them. Our aim is to keep the conversation clear and to treat your concern with compassion from the first question.
Let the dentist know where it hurts, what makes it worse and anything about the visit that is making you anxious.
Your diagnosis should make sense to you, so ask for anything unclear to be explained again.
Realistic choices for treatment are reviewed with you rather than decided over your head.
Once the urgent part is over
Stabilizing a tooth can buy time without solving the underlying problem. The follow-up you need depends entirely on what the dentist discovers.
A damaged tooth may need further restorative work at a later appointment, once the immediate issue has been handled.
When infection or inflammation is involved, the dentist explains what treatment is indicated and whether medication has a role.
Before leaving, confirm which appointment you need so that a temporary fix does not quietly become permanent.

Ask our teamYou do not have to know. Tell the clinic what you are experiencing, and the questions we ask will help establish how soon you should be assessed.
No. Urgent concerns should go by phone to (204) 338-3003, because a form submission is only a request and does not secure an appointment.
Most tooth pain on its own should be looked at by a dentist. Breathing or swallowing difficulty, fast-spreading swelling, bleeding that will not stop and serious trauma to the face are reasons to get emergency medical care first.
Yes. Dental pain can travel, so the sore spot and the source are not always the same place. That is one reason an examination, and sometimes an X-ray, matters.
It depends on the cause. Treatment can sometimes be completed right then, but other cases need stabilizing first, possibly medication if clinically indicated, and a later visit.
Yes, patients from other parts of the city are welcome to contact us. Whichever area you are coming from, treatment happens on McPhillips Street, so please call before you set out.
Depending on your diagnosis, one of these treatments could be part of the next stage. Read about each one, then decide with your dentist.
