Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC in BC?

In British Columbia, provincial health plans such as the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically do <strong>not</strong> cover routine or major dental procedures provided in private dental clinics for the general public. Some limited dental surgeries performed within a hospital setting <em>may</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Cedar Ridge Dental.

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

No, a referral is generally not needed to see a general dentist like Dr. Mangat for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. Appointments can typically be booked directly with Cedar Ridge Dental.

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

For most individuals, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Mangat will personalize your schedule based on your specific oral health needs, risk factors (cavities, gum disease), and any existing conditions. Some patients might require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months for active gum disease or high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Mangat's recommendations for your optimal care.

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

Dental X-rays are safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary for diagnosis (new patients, checking for decay, assessing bone health, planning complex treatments). Dr. Mangat determines the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Mangat at Cedar Ridge Dental?

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form, discussing your dental concerns and goals with Dr. Mangat, and undergoing a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Mangat will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatment. It's an opportunity to ask questions.
