I live in East St. Paul and have my own dentist. Can I still ask about surgery?+
Yes. You may request an assessment at our McPhillips Street clinic by form or at (204) 338-3003, and mention your regular dental office when you get in touch.
How do I get my X-rays and charts to you?+
Call the clinic and ask what would help and how a transfer would be handled. Your current office can tell you about the records it holds.
Will old X-rays mean I can skip new ones?+
Perhaps, depending on their quality and how recent they are. Imaging is decided on clinical need, so your dentist will let you know whether anything further is required.
Could I return to my usual office for cleanings afterward?+
Ask about this during planning. The important thing is that long-term periodontal maintenance actually happens, and that whoever provides it knows what has been done.
Who do I call if I have a problem while healing?+
Contact the clinic where your surgery was done, since it holds the details of your procedure and your aftercare instructions. Urgent concerns should be phoned in, not sent by form.
What should I ask about the plan for trips into Winnipeg?+
Ask how many appointments are likely, what each one is for and how long you should allow. Your answers will depend on the extent of the planned treatment.
