Preventative Dentistry

Oral Examinations

We ideally like to see our patients twice a year for regular oral exams. These examinations give your dentist an opportunity to check for oral health complications and formulate treatment plans earlier and more effectively.
During your exam, your dentist will take a close look at the health of your teeth, gums, jaw and bite. Exams may also include dental X-rays, an oral cancer screening and other diagnostic procedures when called for.


Screening for Oral Cancer

Any part of the mouth or surrounding tissues can be impacted by oral cancer. Your dentist will check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues and gums for any signs of oral cancer, which are difficult to detect with the naked eye during your exam.

Caring for Your Smile at Home

It’s important to maintain your oral health between dental appointments. Blatt Family Dentistry recommends brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time and flossing at least once a day.

Hygiene Cleaning

Before or after the examination with your dentist, your dental hygienist will perform a deep cleaning of your teeth and gums to help prevent and treat disease.
To begin, they will use a scaler to remove any tartar and plaque build-up. Next, they will use a polisher and coarse toothpaste to remove any leftover stains or plaque, followed by thorough flossing of your teeth and gums.

Dental Home Care

No treatment will be effective unless you follow it up with routine and proper home care. This means you should brush and floss regularly after every meal and at a minimum twice a day. The key is not only to do it regularly, but also to do it right. Here’s how.

To properly floss, wind the floss around both of your index fingers and push it between each of your teeth in your mouth. Make sure to move the floss upwards, downwards, and even sideways to remove any food particles or plaque that may be lodged between your teeth or under the gums.

Hold the brush at a 45-degree angle to your teeth. Gently rotate the bristles across your teeth and under your gums with a backward and forward motion. Be sure to brush the chewing surfaces and the inside surfaces (facing into your mouth) of your teeth as well. You can also brush your tongue to reduce bad breath.

My wife and I came to Blatt maybe twenty years ago, after frustration at other practises. The draw was that BFD had remained firmly planted in the same location with the same small roster of dentists and administrative staff for decades.Elsewhere, we were seen by a new dentist or hygienist every visit, always having to re-explain any issues or concerns. It was frustrating and pointless.Blatt was —and remains— the opposite. It’s stable; everyone who works there is kind; they are wonderful with children; and while they are nothing if not proactive and professional, they don’t push unnecessary procedures. Each for their own reasons, Pam, Mechelle, Pasang, and Robyn are why my family remains at Blatt Family Dentistry. Blatt began as a family practise and continues to operate as a family practise— not as a patient factory.We have happily recommended Blatt to friends who have been unsatisfied elsewhere, and to those new to the neighbourhood. All of them have been happy, loyal BFD clients ever since.

I've been going here since I was a kid. From then to now the staff have always been consistently welcoming, warm, and helpful! The dental hygienists and doctors are extremely professional yet kind and non-judgemental. They always explain to me what they are looking at/for during appointments so I'm well informed of my teeth health! I've had cavities, a root canal, a night guard made (really everything under the sun) and I've always been happy with the service. The office is modern, clean, and every room has a TV where you can choose your desired show/movie! I would highly recommend Blatt Family Dentistry to anyone looking for a dentist!
