They’re small and they’re temporary, yet they’re busy for years. Here’s what a child’s first teeth actually do, and how we look after them at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
It’s easy to assume that a tooth destined to fall out can look after itself. In fact those early teeth do plenty of daily work, from biting into lunch to shaping words, and they also hold room for the permanent set still developing underneath.
For families in Waterford Green, an area in Winnipeg, children’s appointments take place at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. We see infants, children and teens, watching how teeth and bites develop and adapting every visit to the child in the chair.

Eating comfortably and forming sounds both lean on the teeth a young child already has.
Each baby tooth keeps space available for the permanent tooth developing beneath it.
Teeth affect confidence too, even at an age when they’re still changing.
Caring for baby teeth comes down to two things: spotting trouble while it’s small, and making trouble less likely in the first place.
A dental check at this age is about far more than counting cavities. The dentist also considers how everything is growing.
Prevention is shaped around your child’s age and cavity risk, so two kids may hear quite different advice.
Decay or infection can cause pain in a baby tooth and disrupt ordinary days. Should a problem turn up, the dentist can explain what treatment would involve.
How far a visit goes depends on your child’s age and how comfortable they’re feeling. Simply opening up for a brief look can be real progress.
Request your visitInstruments get an introduction in simple language, which keeps surprises to a minimum.
Development, gums and each tooth are checked to whatever extent your child is comfortable with.
Age and individual risk guide any suggestion of a cleaning, fluoride or X-rays.
Daily brushing, food, habits and the timing of a return visit are all covered with you.
That simple description is honest and easy for a small child to picture. Skip any promise that nothing will hurt, and save difficult dental stories for another audience.
Wondering about fees or what your plan covers? Check with the clinic, because both vary with the care your child receives and the plan you hold.
A light-blue dental chair in a treatment room, and a small white chair by the waiting area window.
Children form their idea of dental care by experiencing it. Calm introductions and age-appropriate explanations give a young patient the chance to see the office as a familiar place.
A toddler and a seven-year-old need different explanations, and we adjust accordingly.
Tell us about any nerves ahead of time, so short pauses can be part of the approach.
If a favourite toy or blanket settles your child, feel free to bring it along.
As the baby teeth keep working
There may be several years of use left in these teeth. Your role and ours both shift along the way, and advice from one appointment may not apply at the next.
We concentrate on the habits likely to make the biggest difference for your family.
Cavity risk, hygiene, past treatment and development together point to a sensible interval.
As permanent teeth appear, attention turns to spots that children often miss with a brush.

Helpful details about pediatric dentistry in Waterford Green.
Ask our teamTwo routes work equally well: the request form, or a phone call to (204) 338-3003. Mention your child’s age and anything you’ve spotted, and the McPhillips Street clinic will get back to you about an appointment.
They do play a part in speech, along with eating. If you have concerns about how your child sounds, bring them up at the appointment so the dentist can look at the teeth with that in mind.
Baby teeth help preserve room for permanent ones, so early loss is well worth mentioning. The dentist can check the area and talk you through what it means for your child’s development.
We’d rather take a look than guess, as you can’t tell from a mark alone what’s going on. Decay in a baby tooth can still lead to pain, so ask for an assessment.
Our care for children includes treatment when it’s needed as well as prevention and monitoring. What’s suitable for a particular tooth is decided once the dentist has assessed it.
Phone the clinic rather than sending the form, and describe the pain or swelling. Get emergency medical care first for serious facial injury, loss of consciousness, uncontrolled bleeding or trouble breathing.
Routine prevention, repairing a cavity and getting help with sudden pain each have their own page.
