Ten years ago, on June 10, 2013, Blairmore Dental Centre opened our Saskatoon doors for the first time! This is a significant milestone for any business, and it’s something that we are incredibly proud over. Over the past decade, Dr. Hamilton and the whole dental team have worked with countless patients to achieve healthier, brighter smiles.

It's that time of year again, the week between Christmas and New Year where time doesn't really exist, you don't remember what day it is, and you eat chocolate for breakfast. It's also the time when people reflect on their last year and think about the year ahead.

2022 was an exciting year at Blairmore Dental Centre and we are looking back at some of our highlights from the year.

This month on the Blairmore Dental blog we are focusing on newborn dental care and some of the do’s and don’ts with your little one. The newborn phase brings many things to consider and focus on. It can be easy to forget about oral care for your newborn. Even though your little one likely doesn’t have teeth yet there are many things to consider. What should you be doing for your newborn to help protect their mouths?

Pregnancy can be both an exciting and nerve-racking experience. There is a lot to consider, and often your oral health becomes an afterthought. Should you keep your same schedule for cleanings? Should you continue to receive dental treatments? Or should they be postponed? These are some of the most common questions we hear at the clinic from our patients who are pregnant. Within this blog, you’ll hear from Dr. Hamilton on some of the best tips to keep your oral health in check while going through a pregnancy.

Late nights by the campfire, hikes in the mountains, trying some new food at Taste of Saskatchewan, long walks or bike rides along Saskatoon’s beautiful river, road trips, ball diamonds, and late nights in the sun. I could go on and on with all the summer activities we are gearing up for in Saskatoon this year. After a long winter everyone is excited. This month on the blog Dr. Hamilton, Dr. Shire and the team at Blairmore Dental Centre, your local Saskatoon dental clinic, discuss a few oral health tips and things to pay attention to this summer!

When you go to the dentist chances are you won’t just be seeing the dentist. The team at Blairmore Dental Centre, your local Saskatoon dentist, includes dental hygienists, assistants, and administrative staff who all work together to give you the best experience and support for your oral hygiene. Dental hygienists are crucial members of that team. Some of the responsibilities of dental hygienists at our Saskatoon dental clinic include reviewing your health history and assessing your oral health conditions, dental cleanings, and educating patients on proper oral health.

World Oral Health Day is March 20, 2022, and the message of the campaign is: Be Proud of Your Mouth. This year’s focus is on the importance of oral health for your happiness and well-being.

This month on the blog we hear from Dr. Hamilton and a few of the patients at Blairmore Dental Centre about why caring for their oral health is important for them.

When was the last time you were at the Dentist? If you have to think long and hard about that question, it’s probably time to book your next appointment!

Well let's face it, when it comes to the month of December we all start to think about what we will do differently in the new year to come. Some of us write down affirmations, lists, things to conquer. A lot of the time it’s looking at improving quality of food intake, increasing exercise, taking up a new hobby or figuring out the best balance of work and home life. As we are kicking off 2021, I wanted to take the time to add something to those lists - Oral Health.
