Children's Dental Services in St. James, Winnipeg

At Assiniboine Dental Group in Winnipeg, our dentists aim to teach positive dental habits at every stage of children's growth and help keep their teeth healthy into adulthood. 

Treatment Options For Children

We offer the following dental treatment options to help children and teens keep their smiles healthy and bright!

• Dental Checkups

  Regular dental checkups, including cleaning and exams, are just as important for children as they are for adults.

  Children should visit the dentist every six months to help prevent problems and to catch and treat those that are already developing.

  During each appointment, the dentist or hygienist will review proper oral hygiene techniques with your child, to ensure that each tooth is getting a proper cleaning at home.

• Monitoring Baby Teeth

  Primary (baby) teeth are essential for children's healthy oral development, and for the health of the whole body. 

  Visiting the dentist on a regular basis when your child is young will help preserve the baby teeth until they are ready to fall out and be replaced by adult teeth.

• Fluoride Treatment

  Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps prevent tooth decay. At Assiniboine Dental Group, we provide fluoride treatment for children during dental checkups to help keep their teeth strong and resistant to decay. 

• Dental Fillings

  Despite best efforts to ensure good dental hygiene, sometimes kids end up with cavities.

  Cavity care for children is very similar to cavity care for adults because preserving tooth health is the most important aspect.

  To preserve your child’s oral health, your dentist will remove the decayed material from the baby teeth and repair it with a dental filling. 

• Dental Sealants

  Dental sealants are coatings that are applied to the molars and premolars to help protect them from developing cavities.

  Molars and premolars often have deep fissures in them that are difficult for children to clean with regular brushing.

  Sealants help seal off these fissures of that bacteria and plaque cannot build up inside them.

• Early Orthodontic Treatment

  At every appointment your child attends, the dentist will monitor their growing smile for any sign of developing misalignments.

  If a problem is caught early, orthodontic treatment can prevent it from getting worse.

  As a result, more invasive orthodontic treatment when your child is older may not be required.
