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

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

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

In British Columbia, the provincial health plan (Medical Services Plan, or MSP) typically does <strong>not</strong> cover routine or major dental procedures in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting <em>might</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., low-income children, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Colobong will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (cavities, gum disease), and existing conditions. Some patients might need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) while others may have longer intervals. Follow Dr. Colobong's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Colobong at the clinic?

At your first visit, expect a medical history review, a discussion of your dental concerns and goals, a thorough oral examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Colobong will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatment. It's a good time to ask questions.

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 necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health). Dr. Colobong will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and follows ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of our clinic's regular office hours?

For life-threatening emergencies (severe bleeding, difficulty breathing), go to the nearest hospital ER or call 911. For urgent, non-life-threatening issues (severe toothache, knocked-out tooth), call our main office number at (604) 496-3896.
