Plainly put
Children’s Dental Care at Our Winnipeg North Clinic
If you want the short version, here it is: Winnipeg North Dental is a clinic in the northern part of the city, at 2358 McPhillips Street, and we treat infants, children and teens as well as adults.
Most of what we do for kids is routine and preventive. That means examining teeth as they develop, cleaning when appropriate, talking through fluoride and offering practical advice on brushing, nutrition and habits. Treatment is available too, if an examination shows it is needed.

A straightforward routine
Regular visits give the dentist a chance to follow how your child’s mouth is changing.
Cavity prevention first
Fluoride, hygiene coaching and sealants are considered according to each child’s risk.
Treatment if it comes to that
Should a problem turn up, you’ll hear what was found and what could be done about it.
The contents of a routine visit
What your child’s appointment may actually include.
Parents often ask what they are booking. A typical children’s visit has two broad halves, and how much of each happens depends on age and comfort.
Preventive work and coaching
Next comes care meant to keep small issues from starting, along with advice you can use.
- A gentle cleaning, where your child is ready for one.
- Professional fluoride, if it suits their age and cavity risk.
- Sealants for deep grooves on suitable molars, when recommended.
- Pointers on brushing, nutrition or habits such as thumb sucking.
Not every item applies to every appointment; recommendations follow from the assessment, and we explain the reasoning before providing care.
Step by step
No rush, and no surprises in the chair.
Children cope better when they know what’s coming. So the order of a visit stays simple and flexible.
Request your visit- 01
Get acquainted
Someone on the team greets your child and shows any tools in plain, friendly terms before they’re used.
- 02
Check things over
The dentist looks at growth, teeth and gums for as long as your child is comfortable with it.
- 03
Decide on prevention
Cleaning, fluoride and X-rays are each weighed against your child’s age and risk of decay.
- 04
Go over home care
You’ll get guidance on brushing, diet and habits, along with a suggested time for the next recall.
Before the appointment
A few minutes of planning goes a long way.
Tell your child, in an everyday voice, that the dentist is going to count their teeth and take care of them. Skip any reassurance like “it won’t hurt” and leave the honest step-by-step explaining to our team.
Wondering about fees or whether a plan applies? Ask the clinic for details when arranging the visit, since this varies with the services involved.
Worth mentioning to us
- Any pain, sensitivity or recent injury to the mouth.
- Current medications and known allergies.
- Whether your child still sucks a thumb or uses a pacifier.
- Sensory or communication preferences we should plan around.
Our waiting area includes a child-sized chair.
Making the room feel ordinary
Our aim is a visit your child won’t mind repeating.
A dental office shouldn’t have to be frightening. We lean on calm introductions and simple explanations so that coming back feels routine.
Instruments introduced first
We show and name things in advance, which removes a lot of the guesswork for a child.
Gradual steps
If everything at once is too much, smaller introductions over time are a reasonable option.
Bring something comforting
A familiar toy or blanket is welcome if it would help your child settle.
After the visit
Keeping the good work going at home.
Guidance from the appointment only helps if it’s doable. We’d rather focus on the few routines that make the biggest difference than hand you a long list.
01
Supervised brushing
We cover how much help your child still needs at the sink, along with the right toothpaste amount.
02
Fluoride at home
Advice on home use depends on your child’s age and their risk of cavities.
03
Next recall
Timing for the following visit is suggested once the dentist has assessed your child.
Questions tend to come up later. A call to (204) 338-3003 is welcome.

What does fluoride do at a child’s visit, and is it always applied?
It is one preventive option, recommended according to age, tooth development and cavity risk. It isn’t automatic, and we explain why we’re suggesting it before going ahead.
Are X-rays routine for kids?
Only those considered necessary are taken. Your child’s age and individual risk help determine whether any are recommended at a given appointment.
What are sealants?
They are a protective material that may be recommended for deep grooves on suitable molars. Whether they make sense for your child comes down to the dentist’s assessment.
Can you treat a cavity if one is found?
We provide treatment when it is needed, in addition to prevention. The dentist will go over what was found and the options, adapted to your child’s age and comfort.
My child is in pain today. Should I fill out the form?
Please call rather than use the form, because a request isn’t an urgent channel. Describe what is going on so the clinic can advise you.
