General Dentistry for Transcona Residents

One elbow, puck or fall can change a season, and a little planning helps. Transcona players and parents can talk about tooth protection at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.

Let's find a time

We’ll call to confirm your appointment. For urgent care, please call us directly.

Before and after the whistle

Think about your teeth before something hits them.

Sports protection is one of the subjects that can come up at a dental appointment, particularly during the teen years alongside braces and changing routines. Adults who play are just as entitled to ask. Mention your sport, how often you play and any previous knocks, then ask what kind of protection might suit you and your existing dental work.

Transcona is in Winnipeg, and residents who want this conversation or need a tooth checked after an injury are seen at our McPhillips Street clinic. An impact can harm a tooth in ways that are not obvious straight away, because trouble can develop inside one that still looks whole. That is why it makes sense to have a blow to the mouth assessed, even if everything seems to have settled.

Ask about protection

Your age, your sport and any braces or restorations are all relevant to what is suggested.

Know the first moves

Reading what to do with a broken or knocked-out tooth ahead of time makes a stressful moment easier.

A check after the knock

Teeth loosened or shifted by a collision belong in a prompt phone call to the clinic.

If a game goes badly

Care for players and the people cheering them on

Emergency Dentistry covers broken, loosened and knocked-out teeth. Dental Fillings explains the repair of small chips, and Pediatric Dentistry describes how care changes for younger athletes.

Have an urgent concern? Call (204) 338-3003 to discuss availability.

Preparing for a season

Bring your sport into the conversation.

An ordinary check-up is a good moment to ask, and it needs nothing fancy from you.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Describe how you play

    Contact level, position and past mouth injuries all help the dentist understand what your teeth are likely to face.

  2. 02

    Have your mouth reviewed

    Teeth, gums, bite and earlier repairs are examined, and that gives a clear starting point for the protection discussion.

  3. 03

    Keep a plan for injuries

    Save the clinic number in your phone or team bag, so nobody is searching for it when a tooth has just been hit.

Helpful details about general dentistry in Transcona.

Ask our team
An adult tooth got knocked out mid-game. What is the right order of things?

Pick it up by the crown and stay away from the root. A gentle rinse without scrubbing is fine if it is dirty. Keep it moist in milk or a tooth-preservation solution and get care right away, because time matters.

A child’s baby tooth was knocked out on the ice. Should we push it back in?

No, a baby tooth should never be put back. Phone the clinic and explain what happened, so that the tooth and the area around it can be discussed.

My tooth only chipped a little. Can I finish the season first?

Have it seen sooner than that. Even a rough edge that does not hurt can get worse or gather plaque and food, and small chips are often the kind of damage a filling can address.

What if the tooth feels loose after a hit?

Treat a loose or moved adult tooth as a reason to call promptly. Explain how the injury occurred, when it happened and whether anything is getting worse.

Does wearing braces change anything for sports?

It is certainly something to raise. Braces are among the topics covered during teen appointments, so ask what protection makes sense while they are on.

How can Transcona families ask about sports protection?

Mention it on the appointment request form or by calling (204) 338-3003. No time is held until the clinic has contacted you. For a fresh injury, phone instead.

Ahead of next season

Talk teeth before the next game.

Transcona residents can request a general dentistry visit here and note the sport they play. The clinic will reach out about arranging it.
