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 for the general population. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients 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). Always check your private dental insurance and verify any potential public coverage before treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Singh is the primary dental care provider, offering preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial gum disease management, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening). They educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs. Dr. Singh may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for preventative care. Dr. Singh will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Following Dr. Singh's specific recommendation is crucial.

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). Dr. Singh will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
