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). Always check your private dental insurance details and verify any potential public coverage before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Xie will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits, while others may have slightly longer intervals between appointments.

They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs. Dr. Xie may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr. Xie help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr. Xie can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings, they may offer conservative management advice or provide a referral to a specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?
