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

In British Columbia, the provincial health plan (Medical Services Plan or MSP) typically does <strong>not</strong> cover routine or major dental procedures done in private dental clinics for the general public. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting <em>may</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often from employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It's crucial to check your eligibility for public coverage and review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Bozorgi at the clinic?

At your first appointment, Dr. Bozorgi and the team will get to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and have a thorough mouth examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Bozorgi will then explain their assessment and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.

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

No, a referral isn't needed to see a general dentist. You can contact the clinic directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Bozorgi.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are only taken when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Bozorgi will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

Generally, check-ups and cleanings are recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr. Bozorgi will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors (cavities or gum disease), and existing conditions (e.g., those managing gum disease might need more frequent visits). Always follow Dr. Bozorgi's specific recommendations.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Bozorgi typically provide?
