Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Ephesians Dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Racelis.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Racelis at Ephesians Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Racelis and the team at Ephesians Dental 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. Racelis will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr. Racelis help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr. Racelis can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Racelis will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Racelis's specific recommendation is crucial.

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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often from employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

Cavity prevention involves consistent home care and regular professional visits. Brush for two minutes twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, minimize sugary foods and drinks, and attend regular check-ups and cleanings. Dr. Racelis may also suggest sealants or fluoride applications for added protection.

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

Dental X-rays are safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health). Dr. Racelis determines the frequency based on your individual needs and follows ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Racelis typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Racelis provides primary care, including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns), basic endodontics (root canals), simple extractions, gum disease management, and may offer cosmetic procedures. They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists when needed.
