Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?

In Alberta, provincial health plans like the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) 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 provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Check for potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Moeinvaziri and the team will get to know you and your oral health. Expect a medical history form, a discussion about dental issues or goals, a detailed mouth examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Moeinvaziri will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. Ask questions!

How does Dr. Moeinvaziri as a Pediatric Dentist manage children with dental anxiety or special healthcare needs?

Dr. Moeinvaziri uses specialized behavior guidance techniques (tell-show-do, positive reinforcement, distraction) and creates a child-friendly environment. Their experience extends to patients with various needs. Options like nitrous oxide sedation may be available, or Dr. Moeinvaziri can coordinate care with specialists for deeper sedation if necessary. The approach is always patient and gentle.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some specialists accept patients directly, a referral from a general dentist like Dr. Moeinvaziri is often recommended or required by the specialist or insurance plans. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Moeinvaziri identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral. Check with the specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Moeinvaziri determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Moeinvaziri will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits for active gum disease or high caries risk). Follow Dr. Moeinvaziri's specific recommendation.
