A sore tooth, a chip from a fall or a mark you can’t explain deserves a proper look. Here’s what to do next, and how treatment works at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
Maybe your child has started chewing on one side, flinching at cold water or showing you a chipped front tooth after a tumble at the playground. You don’t need to know what it is or how serious it might be before getting in touch; describing what you’ve seen is enough.
Parents in Rivergrove can bring these concerns to Winnipeg North Dental, on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg. Along with prevention, we treat children when treatment is needed, adapting our approach to age and comfort, and explaining what we find in terms you both can follow.

Pain, sensitivity, recent injuries and changes in eating are all useful clues for the dentist.
You’ll be told what the examination showed and why any care is being recommended.
Plain language and an honest look at each step help a worried child through an unplanned visit.
Every concern starts in the same place, with a look at what is going on. Below are common reasons parents contact us, and the kind of steps an assessment can lead to.
None of these automatically means something serious, but each is worth bringing up.
The right answer depends on your child’s age, the tooth involved and what the dentist sees.
A baby tooth still deserves attention. Decay or infection there can hurt and get in the way of a child’s day.
A child who is hurting needs extra patience. We try to stay calm and clear, and to be open with you about what can reasonably happen at this visit.
Request your visitWhen did it begin, what makes it worse, and did anything happen to the tooth? These details help direct the examination.
With your child’s comfort in mind, the dentist checks the sore area and may recommend any X-rays required.
You receive a plain account of what’s happening and of the treatment choices that fit your child’s age.
We agree on whether treatment can begin, what can wait for another day and what to watch for at home.
Writing down when symptoms come and go can sharpen the discussion later on. When you talk to your child about it, stay even-toned, say the dentist will look at the tooth and help take care of it, and avoid promising that nothing will hurt.
Fees depend on the care that turns out to be needed. Ask about estimates and how your plan may apply once you know more.
A calm place to wait before your child is seen.
Children in discomfort can be especially wary of letting anyone near. Taking things gradually and being truthful about what’s next can help keep a hard day from colouring how they feel about future visits.
Your child can show us the sore spot themselves before anyone touches it.
Hearing what’s coming helps a hurting child feel a little less caught off guard.
We can pause for a moment when your child has had enough and needs some time.
Once it’s been looked at
After a problem has been addressed, attention can turn to keeping things healthy. This is also a sensible moment to look at routines, including a regular schedule if it’s been a while.
Ask what to do, what to watch for and when you should call about the tooth that was treated.
Brushing, snacks and fluoride are all fair topics, particularly if decay was behind the problem.
Once things have settled, the dentist can recommend an interval for routine check-ups.
If symptoms return or get worse, please phone (204) 338-3003 and let us know.

Contact the clinic promptly and explain the injury. Serious facial trauma, passing out, bleeding you can’t stop or any breathing trouble call for emergency medical care before anything else.
Yes. Pain from a primary tooth can signal decay or infection and can disrupt everyday life, even if that tooth would have come out on its own eventually.
No one can tell before an examination. Once the dentist has seen the tooth, you’ll go through what’s been found and what’s advisable for your child.
Let us know about both when you get in touch. Short explanations and breaks can help, and we’ll be honest with you about what is realistic that day.
Not at all, and there’s no need to apologize. Bring what you remember of past care and start with the current concern, then we can look at a regular routine.
Your child’s examination will determine what’s actually needed. In the meantime, these pages can answer general questions.
