When the appointment means a trip to Winnipeg, a little planning helps. Sort out your records, your rest and your follow-up before leaving home.
Let's find a time
If you live elsewhere in Manitoba, a tooth extraction involves more than the appointment itself. You may be wondering about arranging time away, what to send ahead, and who to call once you are home again.
Winnipeg is where you will need to be for this, since McPhillips Street is the one address we treat patients at. An examination and X-ray come before any decision to remove a tooth, because keeping it is preferred when that can be done predictably. It is worth asking in advance whether that assessment and the extraction could fall on one trip or would need separate visits.
Explore tooth extractions
Recent X-rays and notes from your regular dental office may save confusion, so ask about them before you travel.
You leave with written recovery directions, so the guidance is still with you when you get home.
Save (204) 338-3003 in your phone, in case a healing question comes up after you have returned.
A bit of information exchanged in advance can make the journey more worthwhile. These are good topics to raise when you contact the clinic.
An extraction recommendation depends on the condition of the tooth, its roots and the supporting bone, so existing records can be relevant.
Treatment cannot be finalized until the tooth has been assessed, and the plan may change once it has.
Nothing is confirmed about your treatment until the dentist has examined you, so keep your plans a little flexible.
What is done for you depends on the tooth’s location, root shape, bone and visibility. In general, the sequence looks like this.
Request your visitAllergies, medications, your health history, the imaging and the specific tooth are all reviewed together.
Once local anesthetic has been given, your comfort is checked before moving on.
Loosening usually comes first. A minority of cases need a small incision or the tooth sectioned.
With bleeding controlled and gauze or sutures in place, we go through the written instructions and the warning signs.
Rest immediately after an extraction is sensible, and your trip home is part of that day. Consider how much else you really want to fit in while you are in the city.
Check with the clinic about estimates and bring your insurance or CDCP information, because what you pay depends on your plan and the care provided.
Our waiting area and a treatment room.
If you have come a long way, or have to head back at a certain time, please let us know. It helps us explain what to expect and answer your questions while you are here in person.
Share your travel plans when you request the visit, so they can be considered in the discussion about the appointment.
Write your questions down ahead of the visit, since asking face to face is often easier than phoning later.
You may feel pressure, but if something hurts during treatment, make sure your dentist knows at once.
Home again
Healing continues well after your trip ends. Early gum recovery takes days to weeks, and the socket and bone go on changing for longer than that.
Your own instructions outweigh anything general. Keep them handy, particularly the advice on gauze, food and cleaning around the site.
The trip home is no exception to the rules: no straws, smoking, vaping or hard spitting for the period you were given.
Before leaving, ask how any follow-up would work given where you live, and whether your regular dental office should be told about the treatment.
Phone the clinic about bleeding that will not settle, worsening pain, growing swelling, fever, drainage or a bad taste. For trouble breathing or swallowing, go to emergency medical care wherever you are.

Helpful details about tooth extractions in Manitoba.
Ask our teamSend a request through this page or call (204) 338-3003, and mention that you are travelling in. For your map, enter Unit 5 at 2358 McPhillips Street with the postal code R2V 4J6. Hold off on travel plans until your appointment is confirmed.
Ask the clinic about transferring them when you get in touch. New images may still be required, depending on what the dentist needs to see to plan your care.
Phone the clinic and describe what you are noticing, especially if symptoms are getting worse or do not match what was explained to you. Breathing or swallowing difficulty requires emergency medical care right away.
Do not assume so. Whether a tooth should be replaced at all, and when, depends on an examination and treatment plan, so bring the subject up before or after removal.
Gums begin healing over days to weeks, and deeper changes in the socket and bone take longer. The complexity of the extraction, its location, your health and smoking can all influence this.
Bring your plan details and raise this with the clinic before you travel. Coverage and any remaining cost depend on your plan and the treatment you receive.
These pages can help you consider what further care might involve, including how it could affect future trips to the clinic.
