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

In British Columbia, provincial health plans such as the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically do <strong>not</strong> cover most routine or major dental procedures provided in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed within a hospital setting <em>may</em> be covered. The majority of dental care costs are paid either out-of-pocket by patients, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or via government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, or social assistance recipients). It is essential to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to carefully review the details of your private dental insurance policy (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before commencing treatment.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, particularly modern digital X-rays that utilize minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Grewal will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines such as ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Grewal serves as the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide array of services, including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures (such as whitening or bonding). General Dentists also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more intricate dental needs.

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

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

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr. Grewal help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr. Grewal can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Grewal offer any sedation options?
