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

Check your eligibility for public coverage and review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, maximums) before treatment at Valley Fair Dental.

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

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 detect decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Janfada will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Janfada at Valley Fair Dental?

Your first visit will include a comprehensive examination: review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (oral cancer screening), and necessary X-rays.
