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

A General Dentist like Dr. Javid is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer some cosmetic procedures (like teeth whitening or bonding). Dr. Javid also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when more complex care is needed. They 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. Javid for a check-up and cleaning?

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Javid will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients might need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if they have active gum disease or a high risk of cavities, while others with excellent oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Javid's specific recommendations.

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 done in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by OHIP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is important to check your eligibility for any public coverage and to review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Javid at At the Dentist Junction?

At your first visit, Dr. Javid and the team will get to know you and your oral health history. You'll fill out a medical history form and discuss any dental concerns or goals. Dr. Javid will then perform a thorough examination of your mouth, and digital X-rays may be taken. After the examination, Dr. Javid will explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a good opportunity to ask questions.

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

No, you generally don't need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Javid for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can book an appointment directly with At the Dentist Junction.

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. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for cavities, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Javid will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
