How do I request a visit for my child in Winnipeg?+
The form on this page works, and so does a call to (204) 338-3003. Our clinic is at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, and staff will follow up to arrange the actual appointment time.
At what age should dental visits begin?+
Canadian Dental Association advice is an assessment within six months of the first tooth showing, or by 12 months of age. Those early appointments lean toward prevention and coaching for caregivers.
Do you see teenagers as well as young children?+
Yes, infants, children and teens are all welcome. With teens, appointments may touch on braces, wisdom teeth, sports protection, diet and growing independence.
Is there a standard schedule for children’s check-ups?+
No one interval suits every child. After an assessment the dentist suggests timing that reflects development, cavity risk, hygiene and past treatment.
My child won’t cooperate. Is the visit wasted?+
Not at all. Simply getting used to the room can be the most useful thing a first visit achieves, and we’d rather build on that than push ahead.
What should I do about a sudden toothache or a knocked tooth?+
Phone the clinic and skip the form, since requests aren’t handled urgently. Go for emergency medical care first in the event of serious facial injury, loss of consciousness, bleeding that won’t stop or trouble breathing.
