Our family has been going to Dr. Nourkeyhani at Leslie North Dental for a long time, and we couldn’t be happier. He’s always professional and caring. Elham, the office manager, is amazing at making everything run smoothly. We highly recommend this team!

Switched here from my old family dentist a couple of years ago. Had my first cavity filling today—it was minor, and they didn’t freeze. Didn’t feel a thing and was over in 20 minutes. They give dentists a good name!

Excellent. If I could give more than five stars, I would. Dr Nazaran and his whole staff are professional, compassionate, more than capable and I have no “Dentist Fear Syndrome” when going there. As close to pain free dentistry as I’ve known. And they accept CDCP (Canadian Dental Care Plan), so Bonus. I highly recommend this dental office.

As a parent, finding the right dental care for my children is of utmost importance to me. I am thrilled to share our wonderful experience at Dentist, where my son received top-notch dental care that exceeded all expectations.From the moment we walked in, the staff at Dentist made us feel welcomed and at ease. They have a fantastic way of creating a warm and friendly environment that instantly put my son at ease, which is no small feat for a child who was initially nervous about visiting the dentist.The dentist and dental hygienist were incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. They took the time to explain each step of the examination and treatment process in a way that my son could understand, turning what could have been a daunting experience into an educational one. I truly appreciate the effort they put into making dental care a positive and educational journey for kids.I highly recommend Dentist to all parents seeking the best dental care for their children. They have certainly earned our trust, and we look forward to our next visit with smiles on our faces!Sincerely,Sara

Cancer Screening

Early detection of cancer is critical for a successful return to good health. Cancer screenings allow patients to detect oral cancer early and increase the likelihood of a cure. During a regular dental examination, the dentist checks the mouth for any symptoms of oral cancer. Although dental health primarily considers the teeth and gums, it is important to remember dental health plays an important part in the body’s overall health. Hence the importance of routine checkups.

FAQs

The tissue cells inside the mouth are quite resilient; however, when consistent stress is applied from smoking, friction, or alcohol, the tissues may develop sores where oral cancer may form.

Typically, oral cancer forms on the floor of the mouth, the lips, and the side of the tongue. However, oral cancer refers to cancer that affects any part of the oral cavity.

 

  • tobacco
  • heavy alcohol consumption
  • human papillomavirus (HPV)
  • previous cancer
  • excessive sun exposure (especially of the lips)
  • poor oral health
  • family history of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)
  • diet low in vegetables and fruits
  • weakened immune system

At earlier stages, oral cancer can be more difficult to identify and can easily go undetected without a dental examination. In addition to regular visits to the dentists, always be aware of strange symptoms that don’t heal after two weeks and consult your dentist in such events.

Other symptoms include:

  • painful swallowing
  • Growth of a lump on the tongue, lips, or in the mouth
  • bleeding in the mouth
  • white patches, red patches, or mixed red and white patches on the lips or in the mouth
  • Inner cheek lining becomes thicker
  • loose teeth
  • numbness of the tongue or lips
  • swelling of the jaw
  • changes in voice
  • an earache that doesn’t go away

 

They use different techniques to create a comfortable and positive environment, such as using gentle language and distraction techniques. Many pediatric dentists also include games and interesting toys in their visits to help children feel more comfortable and relaxed.
