• For patients where a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them is a primary concern, Dr. Majeed focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration.

• Dr. Majeed expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their child with special healthcare needs successfully and calmly completing necessary dental treatment in a supportive environment, means they can happily and comfortably get back to feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing.

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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Majeed will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Majeed and the team at the clinic will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Majeed will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Majeed is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including 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 management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). Dr. Majeed also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care is recommended for most patients. However, Dr. Majeed will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Following Dr. Majeed's specific recommendation is crucial.

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

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

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

In BC, provincial health plans (like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC) 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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
