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

Early signs of gum disease (gingivitis) often include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums (especially when brushing or flossing), and sometimes persistent bad breath. If it progresses to periodontitis, you might notice receding gums (teeth appearing longer), pus between teeth and gums, loose teeth, or changes in your bite. If you observe any of these symptoms, it's important to schedule an evaluation with Dr. Huang promptly.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Huang 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, and dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding. Dr. Huang also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC in BC?

In British Columbia, provincial health plans like the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by MSP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals and families (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, or social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Huang will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) while others may have longer intervals. It is essential to follow Dr. Huang's specific recommendations.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact our clinic directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Huang.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, particularly modern digital X-rays which utilize minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when clinically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Huang will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, adhering to the principle of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Huang at the clinic?

At your first appointment, Dr. Huang and the team will get to know you and your oral health history. You'll complete a medical history form, discuss your dental concerns and goals, and undergo a thorough examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Huang will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. This is a great opportunity to ask questions.
