What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Khanuja at Castlemore Dental Centre?

Your first visit with Dr. Khanuja 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. Khanuja 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.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for preventative care. However, Dr. Khanuja will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, 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 oral health might have slightly longer intervals between visits. It is crucial to follow Dr. Khanuja's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

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 any potential 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. Khanuja 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).

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

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

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

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

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. 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). It's essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Khanuja provides primary dental care for patients of all ages. This includes 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 may offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Khanuja may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.
