What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Notay at Dawson Dental Centre - Guelph South?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Notay and the team at Dawson Dental Centre - Guelph South 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. Notay will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Notay 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. Notay 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, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Notay's specific recommendations.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Notay for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Dawson Dental Centre - Guelph South.

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. 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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It's essential to verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Notay offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Notay understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Dawson Dental Centre - Guelph South offers nitrous oxide (laughing gas) sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Notay during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest approach for your needs and the planned procedure.
