Frequently Asked Questions about Dentist with Dr. Dhillon in Mississauga
- 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). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment at The Tooth Corner Dental Offices.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Dhillon for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Dhillon 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 might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Dhillon's specific recommendations.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Dhillon at The Tooth Corner Dental Offices?
- At your first appointment, expect to complete a medical history form and discuss your dental concerns and goals with Dr. Dhillon. A thorough examination of your mouth will follow, including digital X-rays (if necessary). Dr. Dhillon will then explain their assessment and recommend any needed treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
- Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?
- Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that 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. Dhillon will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, following ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Dhillon?
- No, you generally don't need a referral to see a general dentist for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with The Tooth Corner Dental Offices.
