• The journey from their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider to wellness often involves Dr. Hasserjian's dedicated care. The milestone is an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth, which opens the door back to activities such as simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly.

• Understanding the frustration an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear can cause, Dr. Hasserjian tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve feeling refreshed and clean after a thorough professional dental cleaning and check-up, allowing for renewed participation in activities like their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Hasserjian 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. Hasserjian will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Hasserjian is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. Dr. Hasserjian also provides valuable education on maintaining good oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists for more complex dental needs.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

To effectively prevent cavities, maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing thoroughly twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily. It's also crucial to eat a balanced diet, limiting sugary and acidic foods/drinks, especially between meals. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings with Dr. Hasserjian are essential for early detection and prevention. Dr. Hasserjian may also recommend dental sealants or professional fluoride treatments for added protection, particularly for children.

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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by OHIP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for any public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Hasserjian will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (for cavities or gum disease), and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if managing gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Hasserjian's specific recommendations.

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

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

No referral is typically needed to see a general dentist. Contact N/A directly to schedule an appointment with Dr. Hasserjian.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of N/A's regular office hours?

For life-threatening emergencies (severe bleeding, difficulty breathing due to swelling, facial trauma), go to the nearest hospital ER or call 911. For urgent but non-life-threatening issues (severe toothache, knocked-out tooth, dental abscess, broken tooth), call N/A's main office number at (416) 221-7300. The voicemail may provide instructions for emergency contact or direct you to an emergency dental service.
