Spotted a first tooth and unsure what comes next? Baby and toddler visits at our McPhillips Street clinic are mostly about answers and early prevention.
Let's find a time
It can seem odd to take someone with four teeth to the dentist. Yet the Canadian Dental Association advises an assessment within six months of that first tooth appearing, or by the first birthday.
If you’re an Amber Trails parent wondering what could possibly happen at such an appointment, the honest answer is: mostly a look and a good talk. At our Winnipeg clinic these visits centre on prevention and on questions you have been saving up.

Feeding, teething, pacifiers, brushing a squirmy toddler: bring it all up.
Having a first look at the teeth and gums starts a record of how your baby is developing.
Babies fuss and toddlers refuse. That’s expected, and a short visit can still be worthwhile.
At this age, an appointment is less a procedure and more a chance to set good patterns. Your child’s temperament decides how much happens in the mouth.
Caregivers usually get the most out of this appointment, since you’re the one holding the toothbrush.
The examination is visual and adapted to what a baby or toddler will put up with.
X-rays or a cleaning would only be suggested if they seem appropriate for your child’s age and individual risk.
Very young children have short attention spans and big feelings. The plan bends to fit that.
Request your visitYour little one gets a chance to take in new faces, friendly voices and an unfamiliar room without being hurried.
Tell us what’s been puzzling you at home, because that shapes where the conversation goes.
When your toddler allows it, the dentist looks over emerging teeth and gums and checks on development.
We finish with practical tips on brushing and diet, then suggest when a return appointment would be sensible.
You know when your child tends to be at their most agreeable, so mention that when arranging a time. For a toddler who understands words, saying the dentist will count their teeth is more than enough explanation.
Have questions about fees or coverage for a child this young? Put them to the clinic ahead of the visit, as they depend on your plan and the care provided.
A first look at our clinic for new parents.
Nobody expects a toddler to sit still and open wide on command. What matters at this age is that the dental office starts out as a pleasant, unremarkable place.
Crying is common at this age and is no sign of failure on anyone’s part.
If your toddler has had enough, a break or an early finish can be a sensible call.
We use friendly words and avoid surprises, even with those too young to follow every detail.
Everyday routines with a toddler
Home care at this age relies on you. You’ll leave with suggestions that take real mornings and bedtimes into account, and they will change as your child learns to do more.
Very young children need an adult’s help, and we can talk through technique that works on a wriggly child.
Bring up what your toddler drinks and nibbles through the day, so advice stays relevant.
Your dentist suggests a recall time once they’ve seen how your child’s teeth and risk look.
New tooth questions come up constantly at this age. Ring (204) 338-3003 if you want to ask one.

No, this is about when an assessment is advised. The national guidance points to a visit no later than six months after the first tooth comes in, or by 12 months of age.
They do. Those first teeth help with eating and speech and hold room for adult teeth, and any decay or infection in them can cause a child real pain.
Only if the dentist considers them necessary, taking age and individual risk into account. Many decisions at this stage rest on a visual look and a conversation.
Please do. Early visits are an ideal time, and pacifier or thumb habits are among the things we would like to hear about ahead of time.
