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 through 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, annual maximums) before treatment at Keele & Steeles Dental Office.

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

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

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Bhardwaj determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. Dr. Bhardwaj will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits might be needed if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Bhardwaj's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Bhardwaj at Keele & Steeles Dental Office?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history, thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Bhardwaj will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.
