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

In British Columbia, the provincial health plan (Medical Services Plan, or MSP) typically does <strong>not</strong> cover routine or major dental procedures done in private dental clinics for the general public. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting <em>might</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, or social assistance recipients). It is crucial to check your eligibility for any public coverage and to review your private dental insurance plan details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, annual maximums) before starting treatment at Bakerview Dental Centre.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Soltani will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (cavities, gum disease), and existing conditions. Some patients might need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if managing gum disease or have high caries risk, while others might have longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Soltani's specific recommendations.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, particularly modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are taken only when necessary for diagnosis (new patients, checking for decay, assessing bone health, planning complex treatments). Dr. Soltani determines the frequency based on your oral health, risk factors, and history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Soltani at Bakerview Dental Centre?
