What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Meyerson at Endodontics at Yonge & Lawrence?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Meyerson and the team at Endodontics at Yonge & Lawrence 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. Meyerson will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

Why is it important to try and save a tooth with root canal treatment by an Endodontist like Dr. Meyerson, instead of just extracting it?

Saving a natural tooth with endodontic treatment by a specialist like Dr. Meyerson is usually the best option because it maintains natural chewing function, normal biting force, and natural appearance, and prevents adjacent teeth from shifting, which can lead to other dental problems. Replacing an extracted tooth with a bridge or implant can be more complex and costly in the long run.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans to have a referral from a general dentist like Dr. Meyerson. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Meyerson identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Meyerson for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Endodontics at Yonge & Lawrence.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details before starting treatment at Endodontics at Yonge & Lawrence.

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

Generally, every 6 months for most patients for preventative care. Dr. Meyerson will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr. Meyerson's specific recommendation.

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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Meyerson 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).

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant, and are in good general health. Dr. Meyerson can perform a comprehensive assessment, which may include X-rays or 3D CBCT imaging, to evaluate your suitability. Dr. Meyerson can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist (like a Periodontist or Oral Surgeon) if appropriate.
