Another filling, or afraid of a first one? Learn how our McPhillips Street clinic looks at each child’s cavity risk and what your family can do about it.
Let's find a time
You supervise the brushing, you cut back on candy, and still the dentist finds a cavity. Many parents feel guilty about that. Blame doesn’t help much, though, because cavity risk varies from child to child and a better plan can be built around what’s actually going on.
This page is for Seven Oaks families who want that plan. At Winnipeg North Dental, on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, prevention means reviewing your child’s risk, then discussing fluoride, sealants, brushing and snacking in practical terms.
Explore pediatric dentistry
Recommendations start from your child’s age, teeth, habits and dental history.
How often kids eat and sip counts, so we get specific about daily patterns.
Parents and kids alike deserve a useful discussion, not a telling-off about candy.
No single measure keeps every cavity away. Think of these as options the dentist weighs after looking at your child’s teeth, explaining the reasoning before going ahead.
Certain preventive steps are carried out by the dental team during an appointment.
Most protection happens at home, and that is where our coaching focuses.
If a cavity is already there, prevention alone won’t repair it. The dentist will go over treatment options in that case.
Finding a cavity is one thing; understanding what’s behind it is what could help prevent the next one. As ever, your child’s comfort guides how much we do in one go.
Request your visitWe’d like to know about brushing routines, drinks and snack habits, since these give clues about risk.
A careful look at teeth and gums, plus any X-rays deemed necessary, shows where decay may be a concern.
Fluoride or sealants might be proposed, and you’ll hear why they’re being suggested for your child in particular.
Rather than overhauling everything, we help you settle on a realistic starting point and a return date that suits the risk.
Jot down what your child eats and drinks between meals, along with who does the brushing. No one is grading this. It simply makes the discussion about prevention much more specific.
If you’re wondering what preventive services cost or how your plan treats them, ask the clinic in advance; coverage varies with the plan and the care given.
Where prevention visits take place at our clinic.
Kids who’ve had several fillings may brace for bad news. We try to make prevention feel like a project they can help with, using clear and friendly language suited to their age.
We explain sealants or fluoride so your child knows what’s being done and the reason for it.
Good brushing habits get noticed, even when there’s still more to work on.
Worried kids can have breaks and shorter explanations; just tell us beforehand.
Making it stick
Families do better with changes they can keep up during a busy week. As your child becomes more independent, we’ll revisit what’s working and adjust.
Sugary drinks spread out over the day are worth talking about, and we’ll suggest tooth-friendly alternatives.
Younger kids often need an adult to go over missed areas, so ask how long that should continue.
A child with more cavities may be advised on different timing from a sibling with few.

Perhaps. These are considered for deep grooves on suitable molars, and the decision reflects age, tooth development and cavity risk.
Risk differs between children, and brushing is just one part of it. Snack frequency, sugary drinks and hard-to-reach spots are all worth reviewing with the dentist.
Have it assessed. Decay or infection in a primary tooth can cause pain and disrupt daily life, even though that tooth will fall out eventually.
Our discussion usually centres on how often your child has sugary drinks and snacks, not only on what they are. Bring along a sense of their typical day.
Rather than sending a request through the form, call the clinic and explain the symptoms so staff can advise you on what to do next.
