Treatment discussions can drift toward teeth and away from the person who owns them. North Kildonan is an area of Winnipeg, and residents who come to our McPhillips Street clinic are invited to begin with their own goals and limits.
Let's find a time
Comprehensive planning takes in more than X-rays and scans. Symptoms, previous experiences, goals, time and financial considerations are all part of the information a dentist needs to weigh. A plan drawn up without them may be sound on paper yet hard for you to live with.
Knowing what you want does not override what your mouth needs. Pain, infection and disease still have to be handled, and some wishes may not be realistic. Your goals do help decide how the rest is arranged, and an assessment tells you whether a reconstruction is even called for.

Chewing, comfort, appearance and avoiding future trouble may not carry equal weight for you.
Budget, schedule and energy are legitimate planning factors, not awkward details to hide.
A dentist may need to explain where a goal and your clinical findings do not line up.
Vague hopes are hard to plan around, and specific ones are easier to test. Try thinking through the prompts below before anyone starts talking about treatment.
These bring the discussion down to everyday experience, which is often where a plan succeeds or struggles.
These help reveal which trade-offs you are prepared to accept, and which might be deal-breakers.
Goals can change as treatment moves along. Letting the dentist know when yours have shifted allows the discussion about later phases to change with them.
Treat this as an illustration of the general process, since each person’s appointment is arranged around their needs. The clinic can tell you more when it responds to your request.
Request your visitA sentence or two about what you want to change can give the whole assessment a useful direction.
Examination and records then show the state of your teeth, supporting tissues and bite.
You can then discuss which goals are realistic, which depend on earlier steps, and which may need rethinking.
Urgent health needs stay near the front, while elective decisions can reflect what matters most to you.
Limiting yourself to three priorities may seem artificial, yet it forces clarity. A short ranked list gives the conversation a starting point and helps you notice whether the plan reflects your wishes.
Some things outrank every personal goal, and pain or swelling is among them. Please telephone the clinic if you notice either.
An orchid on the reception counter, and a treatment room with wood-toned cupboards.
Some people hesitate to question a health professional, or worry about seeming difficult. Clear preferences tend to make planning easier, so please raise yours, even if the answer turns out to be complicated.
A concern about cost or pace is much easier to address before work has begun.
Your understanding matters, so ask again whenever a recommendation does not yet make sense.
Life events may affect your priorities, and those shifts are worth sharing during a long plan.
Checking in with your goals
Long treatment can gather momentum, and it is easy to lose track of why you started. Going back to your list from time to time can help you see whether you are moving toward what you wanted.
Compare your original goals with where things now stand after each major phase of care.
Changes in chewing or comfort are worth reporting, as they can inform decisions still to come.
As completion approaches, talk about what you would like upkeep to look like in future.
A sudden ache or swelling takes priority over any review of goals, so contact the clinic by phone if one develops.

Ask our teamTalk about the difference openly and ask for the reasons behind the recommendation. Health needs may set some limits, but understanding why can help you decide what to do.
Yes, and you can say so. Cosmetic goals are considered within a foundation of health and function, so some steps may need to come first to support what you want.
Sharing your financial limits early is useful, as cost is one of the factors a plan takes into account. You can then ask how priorities might be arranged within it.
Tell the dentist. Simplicity is a legitimate goal, and you can ask which options involve fewer steps, and what would be gained or given up by choosing them.
You can, and the sooner you mention it the more room there may be to adjust. Some phases may be easier to change than others, depending on what has already been done.
Call (204) 338-3003 or send a request online, adding a line about what you hope to change if you wish. Staff will be in touch about a visit at our clinic.
