👶 International Children's Day Challenge!

Before they were dentists, hygienists, assistants, administrators, and managers, they were just kids with big dreams, endless energy, and a lot of growing up still ahead of them 😊

Today, we're celebrating International Children's Day by sharing a few childhood photos from the Mulkins Main Dental team 📸

Can you guess who's who? Leave your guesses in the comments below ⬇️

One of the things we’re reminded of when looking through these photos is that everyone starts somewhere. The people who care for our patients today were once kids learning, growing, and finding their place in the world 💜

Looking through these photos is also a reminder of how quickly childhood goes by, and how important it is to support healthy habits while kids are growing up 🦷

Good luck with the guessing!

🚨 No need to worry, this was only a drill 😄

Part of this month's team meeting at Mulkins Main Dental focused on emergency response training.

While we regularly review standards, protocols, and procedures, it's equally important to practice them. The team worked through emergency scenarios and reviewed the role each person would play if a real situation ever occurred.

Fortunately, emergencies are rare. But preparation, teamwork, and knowing exactly what to do are important parts of providing safe patient care 💜

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and being prepared is part of that commitment.

Yesterday, Dr. Alex and Dr. Elena took part in the Ottawa International Marathon as part of Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Dr. Alex finished the marathon in 3:22:33, and Dr. Elena completed her marathon in UNDER 4 HOURS at 3:59:18, both improving their times from last year.

What makes that especially meaningful is that marathon progress doesn’t happen overnight. It comes from building healthy habits, sticking with a routine, and continuing to put in the work over time.

In many ways, dental health is similar.

Brushing, flossing, regular checkups, and preventative care may seem small day to day, but consistency over time can make a meaningful difference. The little things we do regularly for our health often matter the most.

We’re proud of their dedication and grateful to be part of a team that values caring for one another and long term wellbeing. 💜

At Mulkins Main Dental, we’re always happy to help patients build healthy routines and stay on track with their preventative care.

🌱 Spring has a way of getting people moving again.

We are thankful for longer days, warmer weather, and more time spent outside with family and friends ☀️

At Mulkins Main Dental, it’s also a reminder of how quickly summer schedules can start to fill up 💜

If you’ve been meaning to book a hygiene visit or dental appointment, this can be a good time to plan ahead before routines get busy 😊

We hope you’re enjoying the beautiful weather and making the most of the season.

Last week, members of our team from Mulkins Main Dental attended the Ontario Dental Association Annual Spring Meeting in Toronto 🦷

One of Joanne’s biggest takeaways from the conference was the opportunity to connect with her teammates and continue learning through the many lectures and seminars throughout the weekend.

As someone newer to the Mulkins Main Dental team, she shared how meaningful it was to spend time together outside the clinic and continue building relationships with coworkers 💜

We’re grateful for opportunities like ODA ASM 2026 and look forward to continuing to bring new ideas and perspectives back into the clinic 😊

Last week, Dr. Alex and Dr. Elena attended the Ontario Dental Association Annual Spring Meeting in Toronto 🦷

For our team at Mulkins Main Dental, continuing education is about more than lectures. It’s an opportunity to explore new ideas, stay current with evolving technology, and continue improving the experience we provide for patients every day.

From communication and treatment planning to emerging technologies in dentistry, there’s always something new to learn and bring back into the clinic.

For us, learning doesn’t stop after graduation. It continues through collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to growing over time 💜

We’re excited to bring what we learned back into the clinic and continue building on it as a team 😊

💐 “A mother is the one who fills your heart in the first place.” — Amy Tan

Today, we’re thinking about all the mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, and mother figures who give so much of themselves to the people around them 💜

Thank you for the care, patience, strength, and love you bring into everyday life.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Mulkins Main Dental 🌷

🏙️ Our team is in Toronto this week for the Ontario Dental Association Annual Spring Meeting.

Last night was a chance to connect over dinner before the conference begins 🍝

Today, the learning starts.

This event brings together dental teams from across the province for continuing education, with lectures and presentations focused on current approaches to care 🦷

For our team at Mulkins Main Dental, it’s an opportunity to step back from the clinic, spend time together, and continue learning so we can bring that back into how we care for our patients every day.

In this short clip, you’ll see Eileen from our hygiene team and Christina, our HR Manager, spending time together before the conference begins 💜

We look forward to bringing what we learn this week back to our patients and our clinic 😊

Most people use more toothpaste than they need 🪥

That full strip you see in ads?
It looks right but it’s more than necessary.

For both kids and adults, a small amount is enough:

• Under 3 → a smear (about the size of a grain of rice)
• Ages 3+ → a pea sized amount

What actually does the cleaning is the brushing itself, not the amount of toothpaste.

More toothpaste just creates more foam. It doesn’t clean better.

It’s a small detail, but one that’s easy to get wrong when you’re managing everything else.

Our hygienists at Mulkins Main Dental spend a lot of time helping patients fine tune their home care routines, and this is one of the most common things we see.

If you’re ever unsure about your routine, we’re always happy to guide you 😊
