Regular dental visits may not have been part of your own childhood. Here’s how children’s care works at our McPhillips Street clinic, with no background knowledge needed.
Let's find a time
Plenty of adults grew up seeing a dentist only when something hurt, or hardly at all. If that’s your story, you may be unsure what a routine children’s appointment is even meant to accomplish.
Put simply, the aim is to catch small things early and make dental care familiar. Kildonan Park is in Winnipeg, and families from the area bring their children to our McPhillips Street clinic for visits covering infancy through the teen years.

Your child doesn’t need a problem or a toothache to come in for a visit.
Unfamiliar word? Stop and ask what it means, as often as you need to.
Brushing tips and food advice are aimed at you as much as at them.
Dental offices have a vocabulary of their own. Knowing a few of these words makes it easier to follow what’s being said about your child.
These describe how the dentist learns what’s going on in your child’s mouth.
These describe steps meant to head off problems, each suggested according to your child’s needs.
A filling, one more term you may meet, repairs a cavity or small damaged area. Treatment only comes up if your child needs it, and the reason is explained.
It helps to have a mental picture before you arrive. The details change with your child’s age and comfort, but the general shape looks like this.
Request your visitYou’ll be asked about your child’s health, medications, allergies and earlier dental care, if any.
Your child meets the team and learns about the chair and instruments in friendly terms.
The dentist looks over development, teeth and gums, stopping where comfort requires it.
Near the end, the conversation turns to brushing, food and drink, habits and the next appointment.
You needn’t brush up on anything or apologize for what you don’t know. Tell your child the dentist will count their teeth and take care of them. If your own experiences were hard, try to keep those stories for another time.
Unsure how fees or coverage work at a dental office? It’s fine to ask the clinic to walk you through it, since costs depend on your plan and the care provided.
A desk with a keyboard in a consultation room, and a dental chair with a light blue headrest.
Children learn about dentistry through experience. A calm first appointment can help the office become just another familiar place, whatever your own memories might be.
Sitting in the chair and allowing one quick look can count as real progress.
We describe things truthfully, using language that makes sense for your child’s age.
Whatever your family’s history with dentists, you’re welcome to say so plainly.
Making it normal
Seeing a dentist while nothing hurts may feel strange at first. Over time, returning visits become an expected part of growing up, and you’ll know a lot more about what you’re looking at.
Ask how much help your child needs now, and when that’s likely to change.
How frequently your child snacks and has sugary drinks is a simple place to begin.
The dentist suggests a timeline that reflects how your child’s teeth are doing.

Helpful details about pediatric dentistry in Kildonan Park.
Ask our teamPhone (204) 338-3003 or complete the form on this page with your child’s age. The clinic will contact you to organize a visit at our McPhillips Street location.
The Canadian Dental Association suggests an assessment within six months of the first tooth or by age one. If your child is past that, you can still come in now.
Prevention is the main reason. A visit can pick up on issues before they’re painful, and it gives you practical guidance on brushing and diet for your child’s age.
It doesn’t have to. Try to stay calm and matter-of-fact beforehand, avoid sharing difficult dental stories, and tell us what you’re feeling so we can help where possible.
Please don’t worry about that. Showing caregivers age-appropriate technique, toothpaste amounts and supervision is an ordinary part of what children’s visits are for.
Phone us about pain, swelling, a broken tooth or an injury; those shouldn’t wait on the form. Serious facial injury, unconsciousness, unstoppable bleeding or laboured breathing need emergency medical care first.
