- Chipped or broken edges and corners.
- Teeth pushed out of their usual position.
- Gaps where a tooth has been lost.

Full-mouth Reconstruction for Pembina Residents
An injury can break, loosen or knock out more than one tooth at once. Pembina is an area of Winnipeg, and this page explains how immediate care and a later, coordinated rebuild can fit together for residents there.

Injury first, planning second
Trauma to Several Teeth Usually Means Two Stages of Thinking
Right after an injury, the priority is relieving pain, managing infection risk and protecting teeth that may still be saved. Some damage, such as a crack running toward the root or a tooth knocked out of position, is not fully clear on the first day. Teeth that look intact can also change in the weeks that follow.
Once things have settled, a broader plan may be needed if the injury affected many teeth, the bite or the supporting bone and gums. That plan might combine root canal therapy, crowns, replacement of lost teeth or other care, each chosen for the individual. Separating the urgent from the definitive helps avoid committing to final work before the mouth has shown how it is healing.

Call promptly
A recent injury to the teeth is a phone call, not a form request.
Protect what can be saved
Early care focuses on teeth that might still be kept.
Plan once it settles
Definitive work is more predictable after healing has shown its course.
Sorting an injured mouth
What may be examined after dental trauma.
Injured teeth can be affected in different ways, even when they were hit at the same moment. The assessment considers each one, along with the bite and the tissues around them.
Damage that may be hidden
Imaging and later checks help reveal what the eye cannot see.
- Cracks extending below the gumline.
- Root fractures.
- Inflammation developing inside a tooth.
- Changes in the supporting bone.
A tooth hit hard may need watching for some time, because inner damage can show up later. Reviews help decide whether it needs root canal therapy or other treatment.
From the first call onward
How care after an injury might progress.
The sequence depends entirely on what was damaged. This outline reflects the usual principle of relieving and stabilizing before rebuilding.
Request your visit- 01
Phone about the injury
Describe what happened and what you can see so the clinic can advise on next steps.
- 02
Immediate treatment
Pain, bleeding, exposed nerves and teeth at risk are dealt with first.
- 03
Watch and re-check
Injured teeth are reviewed over time to see how they respond.
- 04
Coordinated rebuild
If many teeth or the bite were affected, definitive work is planned in stages.
Details to have ready
Note what happened while it is fresh.
The circumstances of an injury can help explain the damage. Even a short account of how and when it occurred is useful, along with anything that has changed since.
A recent injury with pain, bleeding, swelling or a lost or displaced tooth is a reason to call the clinic now rather than send the form.
Helpful to have on hand
- When the injury happened and how.
- Any teeth or pieces that came out, if you kept them.
- Teeth that now feel loose, high or tender.
- Medications and medical conditions.

Shaken up and unsure
It is normal to feel rattled after a mouth injury.
Damage to the front of the mouth can be upsetting, both for how it feels and for how it looks. Early care aims to make you comfortable and protect your options. Bigger choices about rebuilding can wait until you have had time to understand them.
Ask what is temporary
Know which early repairs are holding measures and which are meant to last.
Ask what to watch for
Find out which changes in an injured tooth should prompt a call.
Take decisions in turn
Long-term options can be discussed once the urgent phase is behind you.
Keeping an eye on injured teeth
Recovery from trauma involves later reviews.
Teeth that survived an injury may still change. Follow-up visits check whether they remain healthy, and maintenance protects any restorations placed afterward.
01
Scheduled re-checks
Injured teeth are examined again to look for signs of hidden damage.
02
Report colour changes
A tooth that darkens or becomes tender after an injury is worth mentioning.
03
Look after the repairs
Hygiene care and steady home cleaning help protect any restorations placed after the injury.
Rising pain, swelling or a tooth that loosens further after an injury should be reported by phone without delay.

Helpful details about full-mouth reconstruction in Pembina.
Ask our teamShould I phone or use the form after knocking out a tooth?
Phone. A knocked-out or displaced tooth is urgent, and the online request is meant for routine matters. Call (204) 338-3003 as soon as you can.
My teeth were hit but look fine. Do I need a check?
It is sensible to have them examined. Injured teeth can have cracks or inner damage that only shows on imaging or develops over the following weeks.
Why not fix everything permanently right after the accident?
Some damage takes time to declare itself. Placing final restorations before healing has settled can mean redoing them if a tooth changes later.
Can a cracked front tooth be saved?
It depends on where the crack runs and how deep it goes. The dentist would examine the tooth and imaging before explaining whether it can be kept.
What if a tooth lost in the injury needs replacing?
Options such as an implant, a bridge or a removable denture may be discussed once the area and neighbouring teeth have been assessed.
Who should a Pembina resident call after a dental injury?
Ring (204) 338-3003 and describe the injury when someone answers. Any treatment that follows is provided at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
