If you depend on a friend, relative or other ride to reach an appointment, a dental visit means coordinating two schedules. Middlechurch residents heading to our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg for an extraction can use this page to ask the right things first.
Let's find a time
Asking for a ride comes easier when you can say what you need: which day, about how long, and whether a second trip might follow. Those answers depend on the tooth. An examination and X-ray come before any removal, and your dentist will only recommend one once the findings are clear.
Middlechurch is outside the City of Winnipeg, so you will want your driver to know the appointment is in the city. Call first and ask how much time to allow, and whether anything planned for that day would affect your getting home. Your driver can then make arrangements with fewer surprises.

Your driver will want to know how much of the day to keep clear, so ask for an idea when you call.
An assessment visit and a removal visit could look quite different for the person bringing you.
Your procedure and health can both affect this, so check with the clinic, especially if your ride may fall through.
It is hard to say how much time an extraction will need until the tooth has been examined. These are the factors that can alter the plan, and the visits that go with it.
The first goal is generally to keep natural teeth, so your trip might end with a different recommendation.
Fully visible teeth and hidden ones can require different approaches, depending on the roots and surrounding bone.
Share what you learn with your driver afterward, since a changed recommendation will probably mean a changed schedule.
Your driver will not need the details, but you may like to know them. This order applies when removal is what you and your dentist have decided on.
Request your visitAllergies, medicines, health history and images are reviewed, and the tooth to be taken out is confirmed.
Local anesthetic goes in, with your comfort checked afterward. Speak up if something feels sharp.
The tooth is worked loose and removed. You should expect to feel pressure, and some teeth need extra steps.
After cleaning the site and controlling bleeding, your dentist places gauze or sutures when appropriate. You also receive printed instructions for home.
Your driver will likely appreciate clear details and some advance notice. One call to the clinic can help you pass along the essentials, and let you check what else to arrange for yourself.
Plans can change once your dentist has seen the tooth, so make sure your driver knows the time is only an estimate.
Orchid on the counter, and small potted plants on tables by the window.
Afterward you will probably be numb, with gauze in place, and not keen to chat. A little forethought makes the ride home easier for you both.
Biting on gauze makes conversation awkward, so let your driver know ahead of time.
Having soft foods at home means you need not ask for a stop on the way back.
Your driver may be glad to know what to watch for, so show them your sheet if you would like some help.
Once you are home
With your driver gone, you will rely on the sheet you were given, which reflects your procedure and your health. A common theme is protecting the blood clot in the early days.
Plan on resting right after you get home, and change gauze only in the way your instructions describe.
Straws, forceful spitting, smoking and vaping are out for the period set by your dentist. Meals should stay soft, and cool or lukewarm.
If bleeding persists despite directed pressure, or pain is markedly worse after a few days, phone us. Do the same for fever, drainage, a bad taste, growing swelling or unexpected numbness.
Seek emergency medical care for trouble breathing or swallowing, and do not wait for a ride to the clinic.

Ask our teamThat is one to ask the clinic, as it may depend on your health and what is planned. Raise it early so you have time to make an arrangement.
Ask the clinic how long to expect and whether a pickup time can be estimated. Appointments can change, so having your driver reachable by phone may be sensible.
Let the clinic know by phone as soon as you find out. If your tooth is causing urgent trouble, mention that as well, so you can discuss what to do next.
You may still be numb and biting on gauze, so speech could feel clumsy. Keeping that gauze in place as instructed comes first, and your driver will understand.
That depends on how the tooth was removed and whether a return visit makes sense for you. Ask before leaving the clinic so you can tell your driver.
Phone (204) 338-3003 or submit the request on this page, then wait for confirmation before fixing a time with your driver. Urgent worries belong on the phone.
If one of these treatments becomes part of your plan, it is worth asking what it means for the number of rides you will need.
