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 regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment at Dr. Boro Janicijevic Dental Health Centre.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Rochon 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. Follow Dr. Rochon's specific recommendations.

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

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

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