At Dr. Jason K. Cameron's practice, 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. Cameron frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli is a common journey for patients under Dr. Cameron's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities, so that daily routines and pleasures like getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain become straightforward again.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of feeling like their teeth were gradually shifting position or their bite was changing noticeably over time, Dr. Cameron offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance.
• If a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident has unfortunately put their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Cameron works closely with patients towards attaining their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for experiencing diffuse facial pain or muscle tenderness that they suspected might be related to their jaw joint or bite at Dr. Cameron's practice is consistently achieving a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Cameron, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Cameron at the clinic?

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact our clinic directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Cameron.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Cameron will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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 active gum disease or at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is important to follow Dr. Cameron's specific recommendations.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?

In Alberta, provincial health plans like the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) typically do not cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some 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, or social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment.

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 exposure. X-rays are taken only when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Cameron 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).
