• For those affected by an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching, Dr. King provides solutions that lead to their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment.

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 provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is advisable to check your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before beginning treatment at N/A.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that 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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. King 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).

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. King will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). It is important to follow Dr. King's specific recommendations.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients can contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. King.
