Teeth rarely pick a convenient moment. If you are in Lockport with a tooth that has suddenly become hard to ignore, start with a phone call to our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg, and use this page to help you describe what is going on.
Let's find a time
Pain tells you something is wrong, though it does not tell you what. A flare-up might turn out to be something that can be treated and kept, or a tooth that can no longer be predictably saved. Nobody can sort that out over the phone, because the answer takes an examination and X-ray.
Lockport is outside the City of Winnipeg, so you may be weighing up whether this justifies a trip in right now. Rather than guessing, phone (204) 338-3003 and describe your symptoms. For anything urgent, the phone is a far better choice than the form on this page.
Explore tooth extractions
An online request waits for a reply, which makes it the wrong tool for a tooth that cannot wait.
Where it hurts, when it began, and whether there is swelling or fever are all helpful to mention.
Pain alone does not settle whether a tooth comes out. The findings decide what gets recommended.
Sudden trouble can come from quite different problems. Your dentist looks for the underlying cause and then considers what a tooth’s long-term outlook really is.
A painful tooth is not automatically a lost one, and preserving it is usually the first goal.
Sometimes the cause of the flare-up also means the tooth has no reliable future.
Pain relief matters, but so does choosing a treatment you will still be glad of later. Ask what each option would mean over the longer term.
If an extraction is what you and your dentist decide on, your discomfort beforehand does not change the basic order of things. Tooth position, roots and bone guide the specifics.
Request your visitYour dentist needs your medications, allergies and health history, and your X-ray is looked at. The tooth for removal is verified before moving on.
Local anesthetic is given, then checked. Should the area still feel sharp, say so at once.
Movement and pressure come with this part. A simple approach does not suit every tooth, and an incision or sectioning is occasionally necessary.
Once the socket is clean and bleeding is under control, gauze or stitches are placed as needed, and written home-care directions are provided.
It is hard to think clearly with a throbbing tooth. A few jotted facts make that call simpler, and you will not need to recall everything on the spot.
Cost and appointment length can be raised on the same call, once your symptoms have been described.
An abstract painting by the entry, and white chairs in front of blinds.
Arriving in pain can leave you tired and tense. Say so when you come in, and mention anything that makes the wait or the chair harder for you.
Short explanations can steady you, and asking for them is perfectly reasonable.
Being frozen should stop sharp pain, though not pressure. Your dentist needs to hear about anything beyond that.
If you can, avoid booking anything demanding afterward, because rest comes first.
After the flare-up
A little soreness, swelling and light oozing can occur. What you want to see is steady improvement, in line with what was explained to you and with your written instructions.
Forceful spitting, straws, smoking and vaping can disturb the socket, so hold off for the period your dentist gave you.
This painful inflammation can develop if the clot is lost or breaks down. Pain that increases after a few days is a reason to phone.
Contact us if bleeding will not settle under directed pressure, or if you get fever, drainage, a foul taste, more swelling or unexpected numbness.
If you are struggling to breathe or swallow, do not phone the clinic first: get emergency medical care.

Helpful details about tooth extractions in Lockport.
Ask our teamIf you are unsure, that alone is reason enough to phone. Describing your symptoms lets the clinic advise you on what to do next, and you do not need to work out the cause by yourself.
Not necessarily. Teeth that hurt a great deal can sometimes still be restored, and only an examination can show which situation you are in.
Phone instead. A form request has to be reviewed and confirmed before anything is arranged, whereas a call lets you explain right away how you are feeling.
It may mean a small incision, taking away a limited amount of bone or dividing the tooth. Your dentist turns to it when a simple approach would not reliably remove the tooth.
Discuss timing with the clinic rather than deciding alone, especially if symptoms are changing. Be sure to mention swelling or fever when you call.
Call (204) 338-3003 for anything pressing. If your question can wait for a reply, the request form on this page works too.
These pages explain urgent care and options for either saving this tooth or dealing with the space afterward.
