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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Panesar will personalize your visit schedule based on your individual needs, considering factors such as your risk for cavities or gum disease, and any existing oral health conditions. For example, individuals managing active gum disease or those at high risk for cavities may require more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health may have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Always follow Dr. Panesar's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?

In Alberta, the provincial health plan (AHCIP) typically does <strong>not</strong> cover routine dental care or most major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by AHCIP. Most dental costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Some government assistance programs may cover dental care for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to thoroughly review your private dental insurance plan details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Panesar at the clinic?

At your first appointment, Dr. Panesar and the team will focus on understanding your oral health history. You will complete a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken to aid in diagnosis. Dr. Panesar will then explain their findings and any recommended treatment options. This is an excellent opportunity to ask questions.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Modern digital dental X-rays are very safe, using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect cavities, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Panesar will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or other healthcare provider to schedule an appointment with a general dentist like Dr. Panesar for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can usually book an appointment directly with the clinic.
