• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Ibrahim when they first notice their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Ibrahim is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). Dr. Ibrahim also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Ibrahim at the clinic?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Ibrahim and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Ibrahim will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Ibrahim will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Ibrahim's specific recommendation is crucial.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Ibrahim will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Common signs of gum disease include gums that bleed easily, appear red or puffy, or feel sore (gingivitis). Persistent bad taste or bad breath can also be a sign. More advanced gum disease (periodontitis) may involve gums pulling away from teeth, tooth mobility, or discomfort when chewing. Regular check-ups with Dr. Ibrahim are crucial for early detection and treatment.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?

In AB, provincial health plans like AHCIP typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance, or government assistance programs for eligible groups. Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

No, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist like Dr. Ibrahim. You can contact the clinic directly.
