About the injury
When you call, try to have the basics ready, even if the details are a little fuzzy.
- How and when your child was hurt.
- Whether it’s a baby tooth or a permanent one, if you know.
- What’s chipped, loose, moved or missing.
After a fall, a chip or a knock
Pediatric Dentistry for Middlechurch Residents
Children trip, collide and misjudge things, and sometimes a tooth pays the price. If it’s just happened, please phone (204) 338-3003 and describe the injury rather than using the form.

Broken Baby and Adult Teeth in Middlechurch Children
A mouth injury is alarming, especially with blood involved and a crying child in your arms. The first question is how serious the overall injury is, and the second is what’s happened to the tooth. Our guidance is to call promptly and explain what you can see.
Families in Middlechurch, outside the City of Winnipeg, would bring a child in to Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street for dental care. A hospital or other emergency medical care takes priority over any of that when there’s a serious facial injury, loss of consciousness, bleeding that won’t stop, or trouble breathing.

Medical emergencies come first
A serious facial injury, passing out, unchecked bleeding or laboured breathing means emergency medical care.
Then, call the clinic
For a broken tooth, describe to the clinic what happened as soon as you reasonably can.
Mention it even if it seems small
A tooth that looks fine after a knock can still be something the dentist wants to hear about.
Sizing up the injury
What to notice and pass along.
You don’t need to diagnose anything. A few observations, shared over the phone, give the clinic something useful to go on.
About your child now
How your child is doing tells the clinic a lot, in addition to how the tooth looks.
- Any pain, or sensitivity to hot and cold.
- Swelling of the lip, face or gums.
- Medications and allergies the dentist should know.
How the tooth is treated, or whether it’s simply monitored, can only be decided once the dentist has assessed your child.
If your child is seen
Calm voices, careful looks.
An injured child may be frightened as well as sore. The team introduces each step in clear language and goes as far as your child can comfortably manage.
Request your visit- 01
Hearing what happened
You and your child explain the accident in your own words, along with how it’s felt since.
- 02
Checking the area
Teeth and gums around the injury are looked at as gently and carefully as your child’s comfort allows.
- 03
Deciding whether to image
X-rays may be recommended if the dentist wants more information than the surface shows.
- 04
Explaining the next move
You learn what the dentist suggests, what to watch at home and whether to return.
Getting ready for next time
Save the number before you need it.
Nobody plans for a mishap, but a little readiness helps. It’s reasonable, after any scare, to explain to your child in simple terms that a dentist will look and help, with no promise about whether it will hurt.
We can’t say in advance how soon your child could be seen. Call and describe the injury, and the clinic can tell you what’s possible.
Worth asking on the phone
- Does this need to be seen right away?
- What should we watch for while we get ready to come in?
- Might this take more than one trip into Winnipeg?
- Should we bring anything along with us?

A shaken child
A hurt child needs a slower pace.
After a fright, some children don’t want anyone near their mouth. That’s understandable. Short explanations and pauses can help, and letting the team know what happened emotionally is as useful as the facts.
Starting gently
A look before any touching may be how the appointment needs to begin.
Room to recover
Your child can have a pause whenever it’s needed during the exam.
Something to hold
A soft toy or other comfort item can be a real help on a hard day.
In the days that follow
Keep watching that tooth.
An injury isn’t always over when the crying stops. It pays to stay alert to changes, and to contact the clinic if something new appears.
01
Write it down
Record what was recommended, including when to come back and what to look out for.
02
Notice any change
Report new pain, swelling, sensitivity or looseness instead of waiting it out.
03
Think about protection
If sports played a part, ask whether a mouthguard would make sense for your child.

Helpful details about pediatric dentistry in Middlechurch.
Ask our teamMy child broke a tooth in Middlechurch. What should I do first?
Make sure there’s no serious injury needing emergency medical care, as described above. If not, phone (204) 338-3003 promptly and explain what happened and how your child is doing.
It’s only a baby tooth. Does it still matter?
It’s still worth a call. Baby teeth have jobs to do in chewing and speech, they hold room for what follows, and an injured one can cause pain.
The chip is tiny and my child says it doesn’t hurt. Do we come in?
Describe it to the clinic and let them guide you. A dentist can assess whether it needs treatment or just monitoring, and even small injuries are worth mentioning.
Can a broken tooth be repaired?
That depends on the tooth and the damage, which the dentist must assess before recommending anything. Ask about the possibilities once your child has been seen.
Should I fill out the form for an injury?
No. The form is for routine requests. Calling gets the details to the clinic directly, which is the right approach whenever a tooth has just been damaged.
How can we lower the chance of another injury?
Accidents can’t all be avoided, though sports protection is a topic often covered in older children’s appointments. Ask about it at your child’s next visit.
