A new dental office and a tooth that may have to come out can be a lot at once. If you live in Selkirk and have not visited our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg, this page describes how to get in touch and what your appointment should involve.
Let's find a time
Walking into an unfamiliar office, you do not know the people, the layout or how they work. Here is the short version. You contact the clinic and describe the concern. At your appointment, the tooth is examined and an X-ray reviewed, and you hear why removal is or is not being considered.
Selkirk is outside the City of Winnipeg, so you will be coming into the city for this care. Before setting out, you are welcome to ask what the appointment will cover and what you should bring. Being new simply means there is more for you to find out, and for us to learn about you.

You need no diagnosis to get in touch. Describing what you have noticed is plenty.
Coming new to us means your health, medications and allergies must all be gone over.
You should come away knowing why a particular treatment is being suggested.
Since you do not know us yet, here is our general approach. Natural teeth are preserved whenever that is a predictable choice, and extraction is considered once alternatives have been understood.
Part of your first appointment may involve hearing about ways to keep the tooth, if your findings allow.
Your dentist can tell you which of these, if any, applies. Their explanation should make clear what they found.
Removal may be just one option on the table, and you are encouraged to ask anything you wish before deciding.
Knowing the routine makes an unfamiliar room less daunting. The method used is shaped by your tooth’s position and roots, the bone around it and whether it is fully visible.
Request your visitAs a new patient you may have more to share. We review your medications, allergies, health history and X-rays, and confirm the tooth with you.
You get a local anesthetic, and we check how the area feels before going on.
We work the tooth loose and lift it out. You will feel movement, and some cases involve a small incision or cutting the tooth into sections.
We clean up, stop the bleeding, and place gauze or sutures when suitable. You then receive written home instructions and know which symptoms should prompt a call.
New patients often wonder about details that regulars take for granted. Ask about them in advance, and you will walk in with one less thing on your mind.
Questions about estimates and how long to allow are also fine to raise at this point.

It may help to know what the space looks like before arriving. These photos show part of the clinic, so you have some idea of where you will be sitting.
We cannot know your dental history or fears yet, so mention anything that would help us look after you.
Feel free to ask who you are speaking with and what their role is in your care.
Anything you forgot to ask on the phone can be raised at the counter when you arrive.
After your first experience with us
Everything you need should be on your written instructions, which reflect your procedure and health. Protecting the clot is the broad aim, and you are welcome to call us with concerns even though you have only just met us.
Bite on gauze as you were told, go with soft food that is not hot, chew on the opposite side, and clean carefully around the site.
Do not vape, smoke, spit forcefully or drink through a straw during the period you were given. Doing these may disturb the clot.
Keep our number handy. Bleeding that pressure does not stop, worsening pain, fever, drainage, a bad taste, greater swelling or unexpected numbness all merit a call.
Emergency medical care, not the clinic, is the right place to go for trouble breathing or swallowing.

Helpful details about tooth extractions in Selkirk.
Ask our teamAsk the clinic about this when you get in touch, explaining what is going on with the tooth. They can tell you how an appointment would be arranged.
Expect questions about your health history, medications and allergies, as well as the tooth itself. Tell your dentist too about anything you have found difficult at past dental visits.
Your dentist should go through the examination and X-ray findings with you and explain the reasoning. Ask about anything you do not follow until it makes sense.
The principle stays the same wherever you go: local anesthetic is used so you should not feel sharp pain. Pressure and movement are expected, and you should speak up right away if uncomfortable.
Phone the clinic. Your instructions list what is worth calling about, and a first-time patient should feel just as free to call as anyone else.
Call (204) 338-3003 or fill in the request form here, and the clinic will respond to you about it. A sudden or urgent problem should be raised by phone.
