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 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). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Dr. Charles Botbol and Associates.

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 used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Botbol determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Botbol at Dr. Charles Botbol and Associates?

At your first appointment, expect a medical history review, a discussion of your dental concerns and goals, a detailed mouth examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Botbol will then 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. Botbol?

No referral is needed to see a general dentist. Contact Dr. Charles Botbol and Associates directly to schedule an appointment.

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

Generally, check-ups and cleanings are recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Botbol will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others may have longer intervals. Follow Dr. Botbol's specific recommendations.
