At N/A, 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. Dang frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Dang develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits.
• Managing noticing their gums seemed to be receding or pulling away from their teeth, making teeth look longer effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Dang and the dental team. The clear aim is always gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection and their daily routines without dental hindrance.

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Dang 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).

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). Please verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Dang will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Dang's specific recommendation.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Dang at N/A?

Your first visit with Dr. Dang 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. Dang 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.
