I live elsewhere in Manitoba. How many trips would gum surgery involve?+
Expect at least an assessment, the surgery and a healing review, although the exact number depends on your findings and the extent of treatment. Raise your travel situation when you first contact the clinic so it can be part of the discussion.
Can my existing records be sent to you?+
Ask the clinic about this when you call, and bring the details of the office holding them. Knowing how your gums responded to earlier therapy is an important part of the assessment.
Can the assessment and surgery happen on one trip?+
That cannot be promised in advance. Your suitability must be assessed first, and scheduling depends on what is found, so please ask what may be possible for your case.
Who looks after my gums long term once I am home?+
Periodontal maintenance remains essential after surgery, wherever it takes place. Bring this up during your assessment so you can talk through an arrangement that you could realistically keep up.
What should I do if something feels wrong after I get home?+
Phone the clinic at (204) 338-3003 and explain what you have noticed, rather than using the online form or waiting for your review.
