Dr. Marvin Lean: The Ontario Dentist for All Ages

Some people, both young and old, tend to be scared of dental procedures and dentists, in general. It might be due to an old and painful experience with a dental procedure, or it could be a dentist that wasn’t too caring during a procedure. For whatever reason, neither dentists nor dental procedures should be deemed as scary. 

Here at Pickering Square Dental, our very own Dr. Marvin Lean, along with the rest of the team, aims to provide dental procedures that all patients will be sure to appreciate. Let us get to know a little more about our beloved dentist. 

NHL Hockey Team Dentist
For all hockey enthusiasts, you might be happy to know that Dr. Marvin Lean has been a huge contributor to the Toronto Maple Leafs Organization as their dentist. For 10 years, he has been dedicating his services to ensure that the oral health of our dear professional athletes is optimal and generally well taken care of. He was not the only dentist for the Leafs but during the All-Star game in Nashville, he was there to help out all the athletes with their concerns on dental health. He is also part of the meeting for the Winter Classic that will be held in Toronto for their 100th anniversary. This, of course, is a proud moment for those who are from the Board of NHL Team Dentists. 

Kids and Adults
Dr. Lean is not just available for the pros – he is available for everyone, in general. He and his team work doubly hard to ensure great dental services that will be appreciated by both children and adults. They adapt procedures that cater to patients who have low pain tolerance, and those who prefer to be sedated during a procedure. Small things such as those mentioned go to show how much the staff at Pickering Square Dental cares about their patients. 

For over 25 years, Dr. Marvin Lean has been providing remarkable dental procedures. If you have been looking for a dentist in Ontario that you can entrust your teeth with (as well as your whole family’s), then Dr. Lean is your best bet.

Dental Health Resolutions for the New Year

The New Year is a time for renewal, not just of our calendars, but of our lives.  It’s an opportunity to start fresh, yet again, and live a better and healthier life with a new set of guidelines.  If you’re like many people you don’t take care of your teeth as well as you should so January 1st represents a great time to make a change towards better dental health.  Here are some teeth-friendly resolutions you should consider sticking to this year.

Brush up on The Basics

You should brush three times a day and floss daily and if you stick to those basics that’s a lot of preventative maintenance done for your teeth right there.  If flossing has been too much of a hassle for you traditionally consider floss picks or interdental brushes as an alternative.

Get Your Teeth Whiter

You look in the mirror and your teeth are ruddier or more yellow than you’d like.  You can address that with a trip to the dentist.

Get Those Imperfections Fixed

Maybe you have a chip or a crack that doesn’t really bother you, except when you see it in the mirror.  Make the time this year to get those problems taken care of.  Keeping your smile bright and without glaring flaws can be a big boost for your self-esteem.

Teach Your Kids

You know you need to pass on good hygiene habits to the little ones so this is the year to do it.  Take the time to show them how to brush and floss properly and explain the reasons why it’s important.

See Your Dentist More Often

Maybe 2015 has been a busy year, perhaps with the New Year and January around the corner… it’s a great time to get back on schedule to make sure little problems don’t become big ones.  Even a quick dental cleaning can save you a lot in pain and bills down the road.  Make this year the year you start taking really great care of your teeth. 

As a reminder, a majority of dental insured patients has an annual renewal of their dental benefits January 1st.  If you’re one of our patients fortunate enough to have benefits, remember, unused benefits do not get carried forward, they’re lost forever.  If you have any issues or questions about your dental benefits and want some guidance contact us at Pickering Square Dental today.
