At Bayview Village Dental Associates, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr. Goldshlager frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr. Goldshlager helps patients strive for gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment.

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Goldshlager to see patients who were troubled by experiencing diffuse facial pain or muscle tenderness that they suspected might be related to their jaw joint or bite successfully achieve experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism).

That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options, helping patients comfortably get back to simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly and feeling their best.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Bayview Village Dental Associates directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Goldshlager.

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 to further minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Goldshlager 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. Goldshlager at Bayview Village Dental Associates?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Goldshlager and the team at Bayview Village Dental Associates 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. Goldshlager 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). Patients should verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for and check their private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Goldshlager will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others may have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr. Goldshlager's specific recommendation.
