What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Virdi at Creditview Creek Dental Care?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Virdi and the team at Creditview Creek Dental Care 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. Virdi will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Virdi 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 are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Be aware of gums that bleed easily during oral hygiene, appear red or puffy, or feel sore, as these are common indicators of 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. Virdi are crucial for early detection and effective treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Virdi 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 if offered). Dr. Virdi also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Virdi may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Virdi will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals. It's important to follow Dr. Virdi's specific recommendation.

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

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

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). Always verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Yes, Dr. Virdi understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Creditview Creek Dental Care offers various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Virdi during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.
