How does a Wolseley family request an appointment for a busy teen?+
Send the form on this page or call (204) 338-3003, and add a line about what’s changed or what you’re hoping to discuss. Someone from the clinic then contacts you to find a suitable time.
Do sports drinks really affect teeth?+
Sugary drinks are part of the nutrition discussion we have with families, and how often they’re sipped matters. Your teen can talk through what they drink and which choices are easier on teeth.
My teen stopped brushing at night. Will they get scolded?+
The aim is problem-solving, not scolding. Knowing what’s actually happening makes it easier to suggest something your teen might do.
Should wisdom teeth come up at this appointment?+
They can. Appointments for teens may include wisdom teeth, and the dentist can talk through what’s seen and whether anything needs further discussion.
My teen hates the idea of a mouthguard. Should we still ask?+
Yes, as sports protection is one of the subjects that can be covered at this age. Let your teen voice their objections so the conversation can address them directly.
How often does a teen need to come in?+
That’s decided individually, taking in development, cavity risk, hygiene and treatment history. A teen’s changing habits are one more reason to ask at each visit.
What if my teen’s tooth gets broken at practice or at work?+
Phone the clinic promptly with a description of the injury, and don’t rely on the form for this. Serious facial trauma, loss of consciousness, uncontrolled bleeding or breathing trouble means emergency medical care comes first.
