At The Tooth Corner Dental Offices, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr. Kaur frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Kaur understands that dealing with wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment, helping patients comfortably get back to their child participating happily in school photos and social activities and feeling their best.
• If a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Kaur develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Kaur about their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities is to attain the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth.
• With Dr. Kaur's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence is focused on achieving experiencing a significant reduction or complete resolution of a dull, aching pain in their jaw joint area. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos without dental concerns.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Kaur, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Kaur 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Kaur will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent 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. It is important to follow Dr. Kaur's specific recommendation.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of The Tooth Corner Dental Offices's regular office hours?

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), please go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of The Tooth Corner Dental Offices’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (519) 963-0270. Our voicemail message may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr. Kaur or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service available in the London area.

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 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, social assistance recipients). It is important to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kaur at The Tooth Corner Dental Offices?

Your first visit with Dr. Kaur will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Kaur will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact The Tooth Corner Dental Offices directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Kaur.

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Common signs of gum disease include gums that bleed easily during oral hygiene, appear red or puffy, or feel sore (gingivitis). Persistent bad taste or bad breath can also be a sign. More advanced gum disease (periodontitis) may involve gums pulling away from teeth, noticeable tooth mobility, or discomfort when chewing. Regular dental check-ups with Dr. Kaur are crucial for early detection and effective treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Kaur 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
