- 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. Pham 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).

Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Pham will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
- 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). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Pham for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. Dr. Pham will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals.
