Supporting the Pickering community
Pickering Square Dental has longstanding ties to schools, youth activities, community organizations, and charitable initiatives in Pickering and Durham Region. Some initiatives belong to the practice's history, while current involvement changes with community needs and available resources.
If you represent a local organization and would like to ask about current community involvement, contact the office with the organization name, request, date, and contact details.
Contact the officeA history of local involvement
The practice's historical community activities have included support for youth sports and recreation, educational talks, student observation or placement opportunities, coat and blanket collections, hospital-related fundraising, and help for local shelters and community groups.
Dr. Marvin Lean has also been involved in oral-health education and literacy initiatives. These efforts reflect a broader belief that a dental office can contribute to the health and confidence of the community beyond the treatment room.
Schools, students, and oral-health education
Oral-health questions often begin long before a dental appointment. Age-appropriate talks can help students understand brushing, food and drink choices, mouthguards, dental injuries, and why regular care matters.
The practice has also welcomed student learning opportunities at different points in its history. A school or student may contact the office to ask if a tour, observation, co-op, internship, or placement opportunity is currently available. Each request is reviewed individually because supervision, privacy, infection control, scheduling, consent, and regulatory requirements all matter.
Youth activities and local organizations
The practice has historically supported activities such as hockey, baseball, soccer, swimming, dance, and scouting. Current sponsorship decisions depend on timing, fit, available resources, and approval by the practice.
Do not send confidential participant or patient information through a general inquiry.
What to include in a request
- A concise description of the program
- The population served
- The support you are requesting
- Recognition expectations
- The deadline
- A responsible contact person
Community initiatives change over time
Past involvement shows what the practice has valued, but it does not mean every activity is available today. Organizations can contact the office with a current request, including the date, intended participants, type of support requested, and a responsible contact person. The team will confirm whether it can participate.
For a community request, use the contact page or call (905) 420-1777. Please allow the team time to review the details; support cannot be guaranteed.
