As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Rajput is dedicated to helping patients achieve significant improvements related to their specific and often complex oral health needs. At Pediadent Specialized Pediatric Dental Clinic, the focus is on partnering with you towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Rajput understands that dealing with an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist), helping patients comfortably get back to speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings and feeling their best.
• Dr. Rajput provides dedicated support for patients going through feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals, always aiming for positive outcomes like their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them.
• Patients experiencing their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Rajput's practice, a key objective is achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort.
• Effectively addressing feeling like their teeth were gradually shifting position or their bite was changing noticeably over time with Dr. Rajput's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in confidently going on dates or meeting new people without dental insecurities and social interactions.

Your specialized treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Rajput, will be meticulously designed to address your unique concerns and help you reach your specific objectives within their area of expertise. Dr. Rajput is committed to providing the highest standard of specialized care, tailored to your individual needs.

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, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Pediadent Specialized Pediatric Dental Clinic.

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

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

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, a referral from a general dentist is often recommended, and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans. A referral ensures the specialist has the necessary background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Rajput identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral. Check with the specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

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. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Rajput will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Pediadent Specialized Pediatric Dental Clinic directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Rajput.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Rajput at Pediadent Specialized Pediatric Dental Clinic?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Rajput will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

How does Dr. Rajput as a Pediatric Dentist manage children with dental anxiety or special healthcare needs?

Dr. Rajput is trained in behavior guidance techniques (tell-show-do, positive reinforcement, distraction) and creates a child-friendly environment. They have experience with patients with various needs. Options like nitrous oxide may be considered, or Dr. Rajput may coordinate care with specialists for deeper sedation if necessary. The approach is always patient and gentle.
