Once the decision is made, the waiting begins. If you live in Stony Mountain and have gum surgery coming up at our Winnipeg clinic, here is a countdown for the stretch before your appointment.
Let's find a time
Between agreeing to surgery and sitting in the chair, questions tend to surface. Some are practical, like what to buy for home. Others come up at odd hours, and they can be easier to deal with once you have somewhere to put them.
Stony Mountain is outside the City of Winnipeg, so this interval is also your chance to settle the travel side of your visit to McPhillips Street. If you have not yet had an assessment, begin there instead. Surgery is planned only after one.

Call with anything left unanswered instead of holding it for the morning of your appointment.
Suitable foods, a clear schedule and a quiet spot to rest all help once you get back.
Reconfirm any instructions you received about your date, medications and arranging your way home.
Consultations can blur with time. Reread the outline below, and call about anything that doesn’t match your memory of what was discussed with you.
Selected sites are opened and treated directly, in a set sequence, after the area has been numbed.
If doubts creep in, remind yourself what the procedure is for and what it can’t do.
Having real second thoughts? Tell the clinic before your date. That is a much easier conversation to have early on.
No one needs a military operation here. These stages simply stop things from piling up at the last minute, so adapt them to your own appointment.
Request your visitList your open questions and call about them. This is the moment to ask how long to allow and how many further visits may follow.
Arrange your time away from work, get household duties covered and pick up suitable foods. Check that your medication list is still current.
Re-read any instructions you have. Set out your list and insurance details, and have the phone number handy. Then do something that helps you settle.
Give yourself plenty of time to come into the city. Before anything starts, mention any changes in your health or medication since you were last seen.
You will be coming back with a numb mouth, fresh sutures and instructions to follow. Having everything sorted beforehand means there is little to do but rest.
Any change in your health, or something that may prevent you from travelling in, is worth a call to the clinic as soon as you know.
A tall plant and window chairs in the waiting area, and a pale blue dental chair.
Waiting can be harder than the appointment. Name what worries you most, and pass it along to the team so they can talk you through it on the day.
Nervous when you walk in? A quick word at the start lets the team know how you are feeling.
Local anaesthetic is usual here, and your history guides any discussion about other comfort options for you.
If you feel rushed, ask for a minute before starting. Settling yourself is a reasonable thing to request.
After the countdown ends
A look ahead tells you why the preparation matters. Instructions specific to you, provided on the day, always take priority over this general summary.
Across the first 24–48 hours, your home setup earns its keep: rest, medication as directed, suitable meals, and no pulling on the lip or cheek.
Keeping plaque down means following your rinse or cleaning directions, not brushing the surgical spot. Tobacco and tissue-disturbing activity should wait.
A follow-up reviews healing and takes out sutures as needed. Past that, periodontal maintenance is what protects the shallower area you have worked for.
Questions after you have left? Phone the clinic and let them know how things are going.

Ask our teamA gum assessment does. Request one through this page or by phoning (204) 338-3003, and the appointment will take place at our Winnipeg clinic.
Phone the clinic and explain how you are feeling. They can advise you on whether your appointment should go ahead as planned.
Put that question to the clinic. Go through each medication and supplement at your assessment or by phone, and follow the instructions you are given.
Of course. It is better to have something explained again than to go ahead feeling unsure, so call or ask when you arrive.
Keep up your normal home routine unless you have been told otherwise. If a sore area is making cleaning difficult, mention that to the clinic.
Let the clinic know as soon as possible. It is your decision, and you can also ask what postponing would mean for the sites in question.
