Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC in BC?

In British Columbia, provincial health plans like the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically do not cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by MSP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before beginning treatment at Vancouver aboriginal health society.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays, which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used to further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Le will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Le for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Le will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Always follow Dr. Le's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Le at Vancouver aboriginal health society?

At your first appointment, Dr. Le and the team at Vancouver aboriginal health society will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You will fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Le will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. This is a great opportunity to ask questions.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Le?

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Le for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Vancouver aboriginal health society.
