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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Khddyer will personalize your visit schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, patients managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities might need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while those with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Always follow Dr. Khddyer's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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 <strong>not</strong> cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by OHIP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for any public programs and always review your private dental insurance plan details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before beginning treatment at N/A.

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