Children's Dentists in Winnipeg

At Shine Dental, we believe building a lifetime of good oral health starts early. Our caring dental team is passionate about helping kids feel safe, happy, and confident at the dentist. Whether it’s their first visit, which is FREE for children under the age of 3, or they’re growing into their teen years, we deliver excellent paediatric dental care in a stress-free, supportive environment. 

With three convenient locations across Winnipeg, we’re proud to help children of all ages build healthy smiles that last a lifetime.

Our Dentistry Services For Children

Our paediatric dentistry services meet the unique needs of infants, kids, and teens. From gentle cleanings and exams to developing healthy arches and sealants, our dentists provide personalized care at every stage. We also guide parents on supporting their child’s oral health at home.

When To Take Your Child To The Dentist

We recommend booking your child’s first appointment around their first birthday. Another indicator would be when their first tooth appears. These early dentist visits help us monitor developing teeth, catch issues early, and build your child’s confidence with dental care.

How To Prepare For A First Visit 

A child’s first dental appointment can feel overwhelming, but a few simple steps can ease their nerves:

  • Stay Positive: Talk about the dentist in an upbeat way. Let your child know the dentist will count their teeth and help keep their smile healthy.

  • Read Books Together: Stories like The Berenstain Bears Visit the Dentist help kids feel more confident

  • Bring a Comfort Item: A favourite stuffed animal or toy can help your child feel secure.

  • Pick a Good Time: Schedule the appointment when your child is rested, like mid-morning.

Our goal is to make every child’s first visit welcoming, relaxed, and even fun.

Preventative Care 

Regular cleanings and dental exams help protect your child’s oral health and prevent cavities. We also share tips on brushing, flossing, and healthy eating to set your child up for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

We guide parents on helpful habits, like wiping infants’ gums after feedings, limiting sugary drinks, and encouraging proper brushing as teeth come in.
