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

A General Dentist like Dr. Hosseini 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, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. Dr. Hosseini also provides valuable education on maintaining good oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists for more complex needs. They 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. Hosseini for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Hosseini will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities might need visits every 3-4 months, while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It's essential to follow Dr. Hosseini's specific recommendations.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Hosseini at Bayview Glen Dental Office?

At your first appointment, Dr. Hosseini and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You will fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Hosseini will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. This is an excellent opportunity to ask questions.

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 used. X-rays are taken only when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Hosseini will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and dental history, following 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 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 from employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It's crucial to check your eligibility for any public coverage and review your private dental insurance details before treatment.
