Sometimes a check-up leads to another appointment. If you’re coming in from outside the city, here’s how to think through follow-up visits for your school-age child at our Winnipeg clinic.
Let's find a time
Any parent balancing work and school wants to know how many trips are involved. That’s a fair question, though it can’t always be answered until a dentist has seen your child, and an exam may turn up something that calls for a return visit.
East St. Paul is outside the City of Winnipeg, and residents come into the city for care at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. We monitor growing teeth and provide treatment when it’s needed, and you’re welcome to ask how any recommended care would be scheduled.

The number of appointments can only be discussed once your child’s been assessed.
When care is suggested, find out what’s involved and how it might be scheduled.
Keep the clinic’s number handy for anything that comes up between trips.
Many visits are simple preventive ones. In other cases, what the dentist sees points toward further care, and knowing the difference helps you plan.
New permanent teeth, hygiene habits and cavity risk tend to get attention at this age.
These are examples only, and whether they apply is something the dentist decides during the assessment.
Whether care happens at one appointment or several depends on your child and what’s needed. Ask about this when a plan is being discussed.
The appointment adapts to your child’s comfort. Toward the end, it’s a good moment to ask about what follow-up, if any, is needed.
Request your visitYou explain any concerns, and your child hears in clear language what the team is about to do.
The dentist looks at development, new teeth and gums as your child allows.
Preventive care may be recommended based on age and risk, and any further treatment gets explained.
Ask about timing while you’re there, along with brushing, diet and the recall schedule.
You’ll have an easier time answering scheduling questions with school and work commitments in front of you. As for your child, let them know plainly that the dentist will look after their teeth, without any promise that it won’t hurt.
If follow-up care comes up, ask for cost details at that point too. Fees and any coverage depend on the treatment and on your plan.

School-age kids often want to know why they’re going again. A plain explanation from you and from the dentist helps, as do short breaks and clear descriptions of each step at the next appointment.
We’ll explain in terms your child can understand what’s being done and what it’s for.
Let us know what eased things last time, and we can try to use it again.
Tell us beforehand if your child may need a break during their care.
Between your trips into Winnipeg
After treatment or a preventive visit, much of the day-to-day work falls to you and your child. A few simple habits can make the time between appointments easier.
Note what you’re told after treatment, so you can refer back to it once you’re home.
As your child takes on brushing, check on the spots that tend to get missed.
Development, risk, hygiene and any treatment all feed into when your child returns.
Have a concern after getting home? Ring us at (204) 338-3003 and describe it.

Helpful details about pediatric dentistry in East St. Paul.
Ask our teamUse the form or telephone (204) 338-3003. Mentioning your child’s age and any known concerns helps the clinic prepare to discuss an appointment with you.
That can’t be promised in advance, as it depends on the tooth, your child and how the appointment is going. Ask when the dentist explains the recommendation, so you can plan.
Ask about that when the clinic gets in touch, and share which times are hardest for you. We can’t say here what will be available on a given day.
Give us the name of your previous dental office and ask the clinic how a transfer works. If your child had recent X-rays taken, that’s useful to mention.
The dentist considers development, cavity risk, hygiene, previous treatment and other factors unique to your child. There’s no universal schedule, so ask once your child has been assessed.
Call the clinic and explain what’s going on, particularly if there’s pain or swelling. For serious facial injury, loss of consciousness, uncontrolled bleeding or breathing difficulty, seek emergency medical care first.
