• Dr. Goel often consults with patients whose needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth significantly limits their enjoyment of their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them or impacts their self-confidence.

This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to no longer avoiding certain social situations because of how they feel about their teeth without dental concerns.
• Patients frequently come to Dr. Goel with concerns about an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching.

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

In Alberta, provincial health plans like the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) 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 provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Check for potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment.

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

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

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

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

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

Your first visit will typically include a comprehensive dental examination: 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. Goel will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Goel is the primary dental care provider, offering services like 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 gum disease management, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding, if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

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 necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Goel determines the frequency based on your individual needs and history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
