• When experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Chohan helps patients strive for their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health. This makes participating in activities such as confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity a pleasant and possible experience again.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for noticing their gums seemed to be receding or pulling away from their teeth, making teeth look longer at Dr. Chohan's practice is consistently achieving feeling confident about effectively cleaning around their dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances after personalized instruction. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral), involves working systematically towards clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns. Dr. Chohan expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance.

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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Chohan 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. Chohan for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Chohan will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). It is important to follow Dr. Chohan's specific recommendation.

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). It is important to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at N/A.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Chohan at N/A?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Chohan and the team at N/A 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. Chohan will 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. Chohan?

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