At Britannia Village Dental Centre, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr. Kaur frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For patients where experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease is a primary concern, Dr. Kaur focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing.
• Understanding the frustration needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) can cause, Dr. Kaur tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration, allowing for renewed participation in activities like easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Kaur about an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing is to attain their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem.
• Dr. Kaur understands that dealing with a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing can be challenging.

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 to further minimize exposure. 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. Kaur 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Kaur will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients 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. It is important to follow Dr. Kaur's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kaur at Britannia Village Dental Centre?

Your first visit with Dr. Kaur will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Kaur will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

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

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). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Britannia Village Dental Centre.
