How do you judge a dental office before your child has been there? Start with the right questions, and see how our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg approaches young patients.
Let's find a time
A website can only tell you so much, and you’re the one who will have to get a reluctant child through the door. It makes sense to look carefully at how an office talks about children before you pick one.
If you’re a Garden Grove resident, your child would be seen at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg. This page sets out how we approach children’s appointments, so you can decide whether that suits your family. We see infants, children and teens.

Find out what an office does when a child won’t open up or wants to stop.
You and your child should both be able to follow what’s being recommended.
Listen for practical guidance on brushing, snacks and habits, not just a date to come back.
These are reasonable things to want from any dental office that sees children. Here’s how they line up with what we do.
Put these to whoever you’re considering, including us, and see whether the answers sit well with you.
Our approach is based on age, comfort and individual need rather than a fixed routine.
When treatment is needed, tooth-coloured fillings are one example of how a cavity may be repaired. The plan depends on what the dentist finds.
The measure of a first visit isn’t how much gets done. For some kids, climbing into the chair and letting the dentist have a quick look is enough.
Request your visitClear, kind introductions come first, so your child isn’t met with anything sudden.
You tell us about past dental experiences, preferences and whatever you’d like the dentist to consider.
After checking teeth and gums, the dentist may recommend cleaning, fluoride or necessary X-rays.
We go through home care, habits and a recall schedule that fits your child.
A phone call is a simple way to get a feel for an office, so try asking a question about your child’s particular worries. If you go ahead, keep your child’s introduction brief and positive, without promising that nothing will hurt.
Comparing offices often includes comparing costs. Ask the clinic about fees and coverage for your child, as both depend on your plan and the care involved.
A rug and blue bench in the waiting area, and a glass partition above the reception counter.
You won’t know how a child will respond until the appointment itself, so what matters is how a team plans for that. Ours uses short explanations, gradual introductions and breaks, and a simple familiarization visit can sometimes come first.
Your child can get to know the room and people bit by bit.
Each step is described simply, in language that matches your child’s age.
If your child can’t manage everything, the first look may still be worth having.
If it’s a good fit
A dental home is valuable mostly over time, as the same mouth is watched through growth and changes. Think about whether the office you’ve chosen is adjusting its advice as your child gets older.
Guidance should shift as children take on more of their own brushing and routines.
Development, risk, hygiene and earlier treatment all help set the timing of return visits.
You should be able to raise a concern between appointments and get a useful reply.

We welcome infants and toddlers, and early visits focus largely on prevention and on guiding caregivers. A conversation with the clinic can help you decide if it’s the right fit.
Both. We provide preventive care and development monitoring for young patients, along with treatment when needed. Your child’s care would be decided following an assessment.
Ask for the reason behind each one, and what it’s meant to accomplish. Preventive options are explained before they’re provided, and you can keep asking until it makes sense.
Sometimes a simple familiarization visit is the most useful first step, especially for a nervous child. Mention that when you get in touch and we can talk it through.
You can still phone the clinic about pain, swelling or a broken tooth. Serious facial injury, loss of consciousness, heavy uncontrolled bleeding and difficulty breathing need emergency medical care first.
