• For individuals troubled by a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them, Dr. Sabri's approach is focused on delivering feeling well-equipped with advice on how to care for their toddler's developing teeth.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Sabri 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).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Skyway Dental Care directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Sabri.

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 or through private dental insurance plans (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Patients should verify any potential public coverage and check their private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Sabri at Skyway Dental Care?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history; thorough check of teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including oral cancer screening); and necessary X-rays. Dr. Sabri will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Sabri will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits for active gum disease or high caries risk). Follow Dr. Sabri's specific recommendation.
