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

In British Columbia, provincial health plans such as the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically do <strong>not</strong> cover routine or major dental procedures provided in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting <em>may</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often provided by employers), or via 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 review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before commencing treatment at Seycove dental.

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

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

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Veljovic will personalize your schedule based on your individual 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 for active gum disease), while others may have longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Veljovic's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Veljovic at Seycove dental?

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form and discussing your dental concerns and goals with Dr. Veljovic and the team. A thorough examination of your mouth will follow, including digital X-rays if needed. Dr. Veljovic will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. This is an excellent opportunity to ask questions.

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

Modern digital dental X-rays utilize minimal radiation and are considered very safe. 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 complex treatments). Dr. Veljovic will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles.
