General Dentistry for Riverbend Residents
Does the thought of a dental appointment make your stomach turn? If you live in Riverbend, read what really happens at a visit and how you can stay informed.

Dental nerves are common
Being anxious does not make you a difficult patient.
Some people worry about pain, while others remember a rough appointment from childhood or dislike feeling out of control. If you are in Riverbend and have been putting off the dentist for reasons like these, tell us. Knowing what makes you uneasy gives us something to work with when you come to our Winnipeg clinic.
Much of the fear comes from not knowing what is coming, so here is the outline. General dentistry starts with a conversation about your history and concerns, followed by an examination. If a cleaning, filling or other treatment is suggested, you can ask what it involves and what you will feel before it begins.

Say it early
Mention your worries when you request a visit, so they are on the table before you sit down.
Know what is coming
Ask for each step to be described in plain language, and keep asking until it makes sense.
Speak up in the moment
Tell your hygienist or dentist what you are feeling, so the approach can be adjusted or comfort options discussed.

Helpful details about general dentistry in Riverbend.
Ask our teamWhat if I panic or need to stop during treatment?
Let the person treating you know how you are doing. It also helps to raise this ahead of time and ask how a pause could work during your particular procedure.
Does a cleaning hurt if you have sensitive teeth?
Most people describe a routine cleaning as pressure, vibration and scraping. Exposed roots or tender gums can make it more sensitive, so tell your hygienist as soon as something feels sharp.
Will I be pushed into treatment on my first visit?
Treatment decisions are yours. You hear about the findings and options, and you are encouraged to ask about timing and cost. Suitability always comes down to an assessment with the dentist.
My teeth make me self-conscious. Is it still worth coming in?
Yes, please. Staying away tends to make problems harder to deal with, and an honest assessment is simply the starting point. Tell us if you would like things explained gently.
What comfort options are available?
They vary with the treatment, so raise the subject with the dentist or hygienist before or during your care. Ask what could be done in your particular case.
Can someone from Riverbend ask questions before requesting an appointment?
Certainly. Phone (204) 338-3003 and ask whatever is on your mind. There is no obligation, and the online form remains a request until the clinic replies.
On your terms
One small step counts.
When you feel ready, request general dentistry from Riverbend and let us know you feel nervous. The clinic will follow up about a suitable time.
