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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Kaminski will personalize your schedule based on your individual 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 might need visits every 3-4 months, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Kaminski's specific recommendations.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact One Family Dentistry directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Kaminski.

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 always 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. Kaminski 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 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 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, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kaminski at One Family Dentistry?

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form, discussing your dental concerns and goals with Dr. Kaminski, and undergoing a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Kaminski will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. This is an excellent opportunity to ask questions.
