How does a Sage Creek parent request a visit for a child in daycare?+
Send the form here or call (204) 338-3003, and mention any questions from your child’s other caregivers. The clinic replies to sort out a suitable time.
Our daycare gives juice in the afternoon. Should I mention that?+
Yes, please do. Sugary drinks and how often they’re offered are part of the conversation, so knowing the full day’s pattern helps the dentist give advice that fits.
A grandparent thinks baby teeth don’t matter. How do I answer?+
You can explain that they do real work: helping a child chew, talk and feel good about smiling, and saving room for adult teeth. A painful cavity in one can upset daily life too.
Does the sitter need to brush my toddler’s teeth too?+
A toddler can’t brush well alone, so whichever grown-up is on duty at brushing time ends up responsible. If the sitter covers bedtime, that may well be them; ask the dentist which parts to hand over.
How often does a young child need dental visits?+
The gap between appointments is chosen for each child. Expect the dentist to base it on tooth development, chance of decay, cleanliness and anything treated before.
My child fell at daycare and hit a tooth. What should we do?+
Telephone the clinic as soon as you can and describe what happened; this isn’t one for the form. Should the fall have caused a serious face injury, knocked your child out, caused heavy bleeding or affected breathing, go for emergency medical care before anything else.
