What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Siddique at Olive Tree Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Siddique and the team at Olive Tree Dental 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. Siddique will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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.

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

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

What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Siddique typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Siddique is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Siddique may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Siddique 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).

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Siddique offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Siddique understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Olive Tree Dental may offer various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Siddique during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr. Siddique help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr. Siddique can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care is recommended. Dr. Siddique 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 if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr. Siddique's specific recommendation.
