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

A General Dentist like Dr. Alhussain is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr. Alhussain also provides education on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

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. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Alhussain 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).

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 specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, 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). It's crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Alhussain will personalize this schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Alhussain's specific recommendations.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to see a general dentist. You can contact The Tooth Corner Dental Offices directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Alhussain.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Alhussain at The Tooth Corner Dental Offices?

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form, discussing your dental concerns and goals with Dr. Alhussain, and undergoing a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Alhussain will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatment. It's a good opportunity to ask questions.
