As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Perez is dedicated to helping patients achieve significant improvements related to their specific and often complex oral health needs. At Erin Oaks Children's Dentistry, the focus is on partnering with you towards outcomes such as:

• Effectively addressing a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment with Dr. Perez's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly and social interactions.
• Managing a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Perez and the dental team. The clear aim is always their child overcoming dental anxiety and successfully completing needed dental treatment, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Overcoming or effectively managing their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure is a common journey for patients under Dr. Perez's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area, so that daily routines and pleasures like enjoying a wide variety of their favorite foods, including crunchy apples or a juicy steak, without pain or difficulty become straightforward again.
• Patients presenting with a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants under Dr. Perez's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard without the former limitations or discomfort.

Your specialized treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Perez, will be meticulously designed to address your unique concerns and help you reach your specific objectives within their area of expertise.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Perez at Erin Oaks Children’s Dentistry?

Your first visit with Dr. Perez will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Perez will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In Ontario, provincial health plans like OHIP typically do not cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families through Healthy Smiles Ontario). Always verify your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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 taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health). Dr. Perez determines the frequency based on your individual needs and follows ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some specialists accept patients directly, a referral from a general dentist is often recommended or required by the specialist or insurance plans. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant information and the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Perez identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Perez for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with Erin Oaks Children’s Dentistry.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Perez will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Follow Dr. Perez's specific recommendations.

How does Dr. Perez as a Pediatric Dentist manage children with dental anxiety or special healthcare needs?

Dr. Perez uses specialized behavior guidance techniques (tell-show-do, positive reinforcement), creates a child-friendly environment, and has experience with patients with various needs. Options like nitrous oxide or referral for deeper sedation may be considered, depending on the child's needs and Dr. Perez's capabilities and coordination of care.
