At Dr. Jennifer Jean Campos'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. Campos frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Overcoming or effectively managing a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns is a common journey for patients under Dr. Campos's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment, so that daily routines and pleasures like passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children become straightforward again.
• Patients experiencing recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Campos's practice, a key objective is a significant reduction in jaw muscle soreness and tension headaches related to bruxism, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain.
• For patients where persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene is a primary concern, Dr. Campos focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for needing a completely new set of dentures because their old ones were very worn out, ill-fitting, and no longer functional at Dr. Campos's practice is consistently achieving their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their smile being ready for any impromptu photo opportunity or social media post.

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

What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Campos typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Campos is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). Dr. Campos also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Your first visit with Dr. Campos will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a 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. Campos will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Campos 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).

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Campos will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Following Dr. Campos's specific recommendation is crucial.

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

In BC, provincial health plans like the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance. Patients should verify any potential public coverage and check their private dental insurance details before treatment.
