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 only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Choi 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).

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). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

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

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Choi at Bristol Circle Dental?

At your first appointment, expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Choi will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.
