However, Dr. Turna will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of Bramwest Family Dental's regular office hours?

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), please go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Turna is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures such as whitening or bonding.

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 by OHIP. 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, social assistance recipients). It's crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Bramwest Family Dental.

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

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

Yes, Dr. Turna understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Bramwest Family Dental offers various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Turna during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Turna at Bramwest Family Dental?

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.
