What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Tudo at Clarence Street Dental Group?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Tudo and the team at Clarence Street Dental Group will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Tudo will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Tudo will personalize your (or your child's) schedule based on individual needs, such as risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is crucial to follow Dr. Tudo's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Tudo is your primary dental care provider, offering a wide range of services for patients of all ages. These typically include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding. Dr. Tudo also provides valuable education on proper oral hygiene and will refer you to specialists for more complex needs, if necessary. Dr. Tudo may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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 always used to further minimize any exposure. X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for cavities between teeth, assess bone health, or to plan more complex treatments. Dr. Tudo will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Tudo offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Tudo understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Clarence Street Dental Group offers various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Tudo during your consultation so that the most appropriate and safest sedation approach can be determined for your needs and the planned procedure.

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 under OHIP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Government assistance programs may be available for eligible individuals and families; please check to see if you qualify for programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario. Always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Tudo for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Clarence Street Dental Group.
