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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Alsabbagh will personalize this recommendation based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need visits every 3-4 months, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Alsabbagh's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it's often recommended, and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans, to have a referral from your general dentist, such as Dr. Alsabbagh. A referral ensures the specialist has the necessary background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Alsabbagh identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated and seamless care. If you are unsure, check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance provider.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Damaski Dental Centre directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Alsabbagh.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Alsabbagh 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, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures such as whitening or bonding. General dentists also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer to specialists when more complex needs arise.

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 typically paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It's essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Damaski Dental Centre.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are also used. 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. Alsabbagh 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. Alsabbagh at Damaski Dental Centre?

At your first appointment, Dr. Alsabbagh and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Based on the assessment, Dr. Alsabbagh will explain their findings and any recommended treatments. This is a great opportunity to ask questions.
