Gum Disease Initial

• Mild to Moderate Periodontitis (Initial Management by GP): Early to moderate stages of gum disease involving some bone loss around teeth, managed by GPs with deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) and ongoing maintenance.
• Gingivitis (Early Gum Disease): Inflammation of the gums characterized by redness, swelling, and bleeding, often caused by plaque buildup; reversible with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene.

Dental Pain Emergency

• Dental Trauma (e.g., Knocked-out or Dislodged Tooth - Emergency Care): Emergency management of traumatic dental injuries to maximize the chances of successful reimplantation or repair.
• Dental Abscess (Localized Infection): A pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection, often at the root of a tooth or in the gums, causing pain, swelling, and requiring drainage and/or antibiotic treatment.
• Lost Filling or Crown: Addressing situations where a dental filling or crown has become dislodged or fallen out, requiring temporary or permanent replacement.

Tooth Decay Cavities

At Dr. Bogdan Alexandru Dragomir-Ene's practice, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr. Dragomir-Ene frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients presenting with a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence under Dr. Dragomir-Ene's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care without the former limitations or discomfort.
• When concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance, Dr. Dragomir-Ene and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause and a return to comfort and confidence.
• If a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long is preventing you from fully enjoying resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain or causing discomfort, Dr. Dragomir-Ene offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral), involves working systematically towards their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration. Dr. Dragomir-Ene expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Dragomir-Ene, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Dragomir-Ene and the team at the clinic 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. Dragomir-Ene will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Dragomir-Ene?

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

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Dragomir-Ene 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, those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need visits every 3-4 months, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Dragomir-Ene's specific recommendation is crucial for maintaining 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 exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Dragomir-Ene 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).

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

In British Columbia, the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically does 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. 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 or seniors on specific benefits). It is essential to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to check your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment.
