Hearing your child needs a filling can catch you off guard. At our McPhillips Street clinic, you’re told what was found and why it matters before any treatment goes ahead.
Let's find a time
Most parents hope a children’s visit ends with nothing more than good news. So it can sting to learn there’s a cavity, particularly if you’ve been careful about brushing.
If your family lives in North End Winnipeg, your child’s care takes place at our clinic on McPhillips Street. We welcome children and teens for treatment when it’s needed as well as for prevention, and every appointment is adapted to the child’s age, comfort, communication and needs.

Ask to have the problem explained in plain terms, and ask again if it isn’t clear.
Treatment planning takes into account their age and how much they can manage.
After a repair, the focus returns to keeping further problems away.
A recommendation should make sense to you before your child goes any further. Knowing the reason for treatment often makes the decision feel more manageable.
Nobody expects you to know the terminology, so ask until the answer is clear to you.
A tooth that will eventually fall out may still be doing important work right now.
Tooth-coloured fillings are one way a cavity or small damaged area may be repaired. The right approach depends on what the assessment shows.
Your child’s comfort still sets the tone, even when there is a specific problem to look at.
Request your visitShare what you were told or what you’ve seen, plus any pain or sensitivity your child has had.
Teeth and gums are examined as comfort allows, and X-rays may be advised if they’re necessary.
You get a plain description of the issue and the reason for what’s being recommended.
Each step is introduced honestly, in terms suited to your child’s age, before treatment proceeds.
A long talk the night before can raise more worry than it settles. Tell your child that the dentist is going to take care of a tooth, keep your voice even, and let us handle the details. Try not to promise it won’t hurt.
Treatment costs and coverage can vary, so it’s sensible to go over them with the clinic in advance, once the recommended care is known.
A treatment room and the reception desk at our clinic.
Having a tooth treated can seem daunting for a child and for the adult bringing them. If your child is frightened, please let us know ahead of time, so the plan can make room for it.
Your child learns what each tool is before it comes into play.
A pause may be possible when your child starts to feel overwhelmed.
Clear and honest phrasing helps a worried child know what’s happening.
After the tooth is cared for
One cavity is a useful signal. Previous treatment is among the things considered when recall timing is set, and you can use this moment to rethink a few routines at home.
Look again at brushing technique and how closely it’s being supervised.
Fluoride or sealants could come up, depending on tooth development and risk.
Having had a cavity can affect how soon the dentist suggests seeing your child again.
If anything concerns you following treatment, please telephone (204) 338-3003 and describe it.

Cavity risk reflects several things, such as tooth grooves, diet and hygiene, so try not to treat it as a verdict. What helps is knowing which factors can be improved at home.
Yes, treatment is provided when needed. Fillings are the usual example, and suitability and approach are decided after the dentist has assessed your child.
That depends on the tooth and what the assessment finds, so ask the dentist to explain the options that apply in your child’s situation.
We try to prepare for that by explaining things step by step and using breaks where possible. Let us know in advance if your child has found dental care difficult.
Please call instead. Describe the problem by phone, and if there’s a serious facial injury, uncontrolled bleeding, breathing difficulty or loss of consciousness, go for emergency medical care first.
