How can my family in Leila North book a teen’s appointment?+
Use this page’s form or call (204) 338-3003. Visits are at our Winnipeg clinic on McPhillips Street, and we confirm a time with you directly once your request is received.
Is a teenager too old for pediatric dentistry?+
No. We care for teens, and appointments for this age group can look at topics that younger children don’t have to think about yet.
Should my teen’s wisdom teeth come out?+
That isn’t decided by age alone. The dentist would assess your teen and explain what they see before any recommendation is made.
Can you tell whether my teen needs braces?+
Bite development is part of what we monitor, and questions about braces are welcome. An assessment is the place to start that conversation.
My teen plays contact sports. What should we ask about?+
Bring up sports protection at the appointment. It’s one of the subjects that may come up with this age group, and the dentist can discuss what would suit your teen.
What should we do if a tooth gets broken during a game?+
Phone the clinic promptly and describe the injury; don’t wait on the online form. Emergency medical care comes first for a serious facial injury, loss of consciousness, uncontrolled bleeding or difficulty breathing.
