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

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

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 always used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Atwal will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Atwal at Monde Dental?

This involves reviewing your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any needed X-rays.

A professional cleaning will often be performed during this visit or scheduled for a follow-up.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In Ontario, provincial health plans like OHIP generally do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care is paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment.
