At L.I.U.N.A. Local 183, 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. Petruzziello frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow, Dr. Petruzziello provides solutions that lead to their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain, involves working systematically towards their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics. Dr. Petruzziello expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort.
• Dr. Petruzziello often consults with patients whose a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident significantly limits their enjoyment of knowing their teeth are well-protected from decay and damage or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• When patients discuss experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple, Dr. Petruzziello outlines a path to the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Petruzziello will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Petruzziello's specific recommendation for optimal oral health.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Petruzziello 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).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact L.I.U.N.A. Local 183 directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Petruzziello.

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). It's essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

Dr. Petruzziello will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
