As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Endodontics, Dr. Fang-Chi Li addresses specific and often complex oral health conditions such as:

Complex Root Canal Needs

• Need for Complex Root Canal Retreatment or Endodontic Surgery (Apicoectomy): Persistent infection, pain, or radiographic signs of failure after previous root canal therapy, or teeth with exceptionally challenging root canal anatomy (e.g., severe curvatures, extensive calcification, multiple canals, blockages, separated instruments) requiring the advanced skills, specialized equipment (like operating microscopes and CBCT), and materials of an endodontist for successful non-surgical retreatment or surgical intervention (apicoectomy).

Preventative Oral Health Topics

• Questions about Dental Products (Toothpaste, Mouthwash, etc.): Seeking recommendations for suitable toothpaste, mouth Rinses, toothbrushes, or other oral hygiene aids.
• Concerns about Oral Hygiene Practices: Seeking advice on how to improve brushing, flossing, or overall oral hygiene techniques.

Tooth Trauma Endo

• Traumatic Injury to Teeth Involving Pulp Exposure or Root Damage: Dental injuries sustained from accidents (e.g., falls, sports impacts, collisions) resulting in complicated crown fractures (exposing the pulp), root fractures, significant tooth displacement (luxations), or complete avulsion (knocked-out tooth) that require specialist endodontic assessment and complex treatment to manage pulpal and periradicular consequences.

Cracked Teeth Endo

• Cracked Tooth Syndrome or Vertical Root Fractures Requiring Endodontic Evaluation: Symptoms such as sharp pain on biting or release, or intermittent pain, that may indicate a cracked tooth, potentially involving the pulp or root, requiring careful diagnostic testing and evaluation by an endodontist.

This list offers some examples of conditions commonly addressed. A comprehensive diagnosis is always based on an individual assessment by Dr. Li. If your specific oral health concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic to discuss your needs and appropriate treatment options.

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Li about wondering if their child would likely need orthodontic treatment in the future based on their current dental development is to attain achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage.
• If a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Li develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at receiving a definitive diagnosis for an unusual growth or spot in their mouth, leading to appropriate action. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort.
• If their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed is preventing you from fully enjoying confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions or causing discomfort, Dr. Li offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Dr. Li's comprehensive care for a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite is meticulously designed to result in their smile looking its absolute best for an important upcoming wedding, graduation, or other special event.

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, and annual maximums) before treatment at Davisville Endodontics.

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. 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. Li 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. Li for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative care visits every 6 months are recommended. However, Dr. Li will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. Li's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Li at Davisville Endodontics?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Li and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Li will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

A referral is typically not required to schedule an appointment with Dr. Li. Patients can contact Davisville Endodontics directly.
