The Best 4 Reasons to See Your Dentist Immediately
Visiting a dentist regularly is the best way to identify any minor issues and take care of them before they become major problems. Even so, it’s easy to get out of the habit of making an appointment. If any of these situations apply to you, now is the time to contact your dentist and make an appointment for as soon as possible.
You Can’t Remember Your Last Appointment
When did you see a dentist last? Was it two or three years ago? Perhaps it was even longer since the last checkup. That is something that needs to be corrected now.
Dental checkups are nothing to take lightly. Many people find that things like slightly discolored gums, first signs of a cavity, and other issues are discovered during an annual checkup. Since you’ve not had one in some time, there could be issues present that have escaped your notice. Now is the right time to find out about them and start taking action before things get worse.

There’s a Pain That Comes and Goes
You had a toothache last weekend, but it felt a lot better by Monday morning. The fact that the pain went away does not mean there is no problem. It’s more likely that the pain will be back and not fade out again. Something is wrong and it needs attention now. You’ll find that Markham dentists are familiar with discomfort that seems to come and go, and will know exactly what sort of tests are needed. One quick treatment and the underlying cause will be eliminated.
Your Teeth Don’t Pass the Tissue Test
You suspected that your teeth were not as white as they were in years past. A friend suggests you hold a white tissue up to your mouth and find out if there is a difference. Sure enough the tissue proves there is quite a bit of yellowing present.
Whitening treatments combined with evaluations will get rid of the stains. There are treatments that can be done in the office. Alternatively, the dentist may provide you with a home kit that will help. Careful monitoring by the dental professional will ensure your teeth are restored to a natural white that improves your appearance.

You Just Sustained a Direct Hit
Perhaps you feel and hit your mouth on something hard. Maybe you were playing a game and sustained a direct hit by a baseball or a hockey puck. While you think the only issue is swollen lips, have you thought about your teeth? Even if they only seem to be a little loose, that’s grounds for calling a dentist immediately.
Any accident with enough force to loosen your teeth could have serious consequences. It’s not outside the realm of possibility that some of those teeth will need help to settle naturally back into the gums. Without that help, you could end up losing one or more teeth.

Everyone here is very friendly and provides excellent care. I received a full exam on my first visit, and everyone took time to answer my questions and ensured I felt comfortable the entire time - exactly what you want when visiting the dentist. I highly recommend Markham Smile Centre for anyone looking for great dental care.
There is an ample parking space before you get into the office. The receptionists welcome us friendly with proper COVID-19 procedures in place. The staff worked with patient very patiently and professionally. My teeth cleaning was done by Ying, she explained every detail to me and I did not feel any pain or uncomfortable at all. Thanks to the best team !
It's been a while since I've been to a dentist but I'm trying to get back on track with health in general. Overall it was great going to Markham Smile Centre! The receptionist (I believe she was Kim) was friendly. The hygienist, Ying, was attentive and gentle during the cleaning; x-ray tech (forgot her name, sorry!) was great too. Dr. Sara Riad explained things with good detail. Looking forward to going back!
I was someone who was nervous and anxious about visiting the dentist, but the team at Markham Smile Centre has made me feel SO comfortable. Kim is so patient and helpful and Dr. Hwang and Rory are both so professional and wonderful. They thoroughly explain the procedure to make you comfortable beforehand and are very gentle. I now look forward to visiting the dentist!
I found this place on a whim when I was looking for a new dentist in Markham. My hygienist ying was super nice and her cleaning was very gentle yet thorough. I saw Dr.Jason and he was very nice and informative in regards to what needs to be done and provided me with all the information I needed to make a choice. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new dentist, they’re accepting new patients!!
I have been to many dentists in my life, Dr. Jason is easily the best dentist I have ever been too. He does everything he can to make you comfortable no matter the procedure and is a true professional, as does all the staff at Markham Smile Centre. Truly an amazing dentistry
The clinic was clean and the staff was very polite. I particularly liked the fact that everything was explained to me before going in for the procedure so I knew what to expect at each step. The dental hygienist who did the cleaning for me was also very gentle and took my concerns into consideration. I will definitely recommend them.
Upon arriving to the Markham Smile Centre, my son and I were greeted with a warm welcome by the receptionists. The hygienists and Dentist were very gentle and transparent with what they were doing. The hygienist that worked on my 9 year old son was patient and very friendly with him, which helped ease his nerves. Our overall experience was A+.
Since I was little, I have always hated going to the dentist... Its always uncomfortable and unpleasant. These days, visiting the dentist isn’t so bad! Dr Jason, Rory, and the lovely staff at reception make the experience 100x better. I have had absolutely no issues with the gum graft and cleanings that I’ve gotten done here. Everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful, even when I’m calling in or emailing a hundred questions :). I would highly recommend Markham Smile Centre.
Love this place! All the staffs are friendly and Professional and I mean all, cause I've been to most of their office, Markham , Stouffville, North York, and Maple. Dr. Ko is very professional and patient. Whenever I have questions and concerns he would always reply me . I would say this this dental office take care of you all the way. I would highly recommend everyone to come here for any dental works. =)
