Meeting a new dentist is easier when nothing hurts, but tooth problems rarely wait for that. You’re welcome to get in touch as a new patient, even if this tooth is your reason for calling.
Let's find a time
With no shared history, the dentist starts by learning about you and your tooth. Expect questions on your health and the symptoms you’ve noticed, then an examination along with whatever X-rays are appropriate. Only after that can anyone say whether root canal therapy is the right answer.
As someone from Bridgwater, an area in Winnipeg, you’d come to our clinic on McPhillips Street for this first visit. Knowing what will be asked of you can take away some of the uncertainty that comes with being somewhere new while also nursing a sore tooth.

Being new doesn’t stop you asking about a tooth that’s giving you trouble.
Nothing is assumed about your tooth until it has been properly examined.
Getting to know a new dentist includes finding out how they explain things.
Hearing this recommendation from someone you’ve only just met can feel like a lot. It helps to know what the treatment is for, and what it involves.
Canal treatment is for tissue inside the tooth that’s been harmed beyond the point of recovery.
Your tooth’s anatomy, infection and repair plan affect how the appointments are divided.
Since you’re new, ask the dentist to go over anything that sounds different from what you’ve heard elsewhere.
Everything here is geared to getting the dentist up to speed on you and working out what’s behind the pain. You can ask questions at every point.
Request your visitLet us know that you’re new, what’s bothering you and whether anything feels pressing. Severe symptoms call for a phone call.
Your medical history, medications and past dental care give the dentist context they wouldn’t otherwise have.
This is where the dentist looks closely, tests the area and reviews whichever images are needed.
You’ll hear what’s going on and what’s possible, and you can ask for anything to be repeated more simply.
A dentist seeing you for the first time has only what you tell them, plus what the exam shows. A little information can go a long way.
Have past X-rays elsewhere? Ask the clinic whether they’d be useful, and how to have them shared.
A small white chair between two white seats, and a treatment room with tall cabinets.
Nobody here knows your preferences yet, so telling us is the only way for them to count. Here are some things it’s useful to pass along.
Say if freezing has been slow or difficult for you in the past. That history is useful for a dentist who’s just met you.
Pressure and vibration are usual enough. If you experience sharpness, speak up without hesitating, even with someone you’ve just met.
Mention any neck, back or jaw problems, as they could make it harder to hold one position for a stretch.
Now that you’ve met
A new relationship doesn’t end with the seal in the tooth. You’ll need to know how to reach the clinic, and what the remaining steps are.
Tender biting may last for a little while, then improve. Keep the clinic’s number handy for any pain or swelling that’s worsening or significant.
A filling and possibly a crown finish the plan. Without them, a tooth that has lost structure is exposed to fracture.
Ask how often you should return for checkups, so any fresh decay or leakage around the tooth can be picked up.
Your bite and how much tooth remains guide whether a crown is advised, so don’t hesitate to ask why.

You can simply get in touch and describe the problem. Ask the clinic what information it would like from you before the visit.
Ask about that when you call, because it depends on what the tooth needs. Starting with a diagnosis is essential, and the plan follows from there.
It can be useful if earlier records or X-rays may help. If you can’t recall, or it’s been a long time, tell the clinic and carry on anyway.
Ask them to walk you through the findings and show you your images. You’re entitled to understand the reasoning before making any decision.
Tell the clinic what stage it was at, and whether you were given a temporary repair. An exam will be needed to see where things currently stand.
