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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Guram 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. Always follow Dr. Guram's specific recommendations.

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, such as for new patients, to check for cavities between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Guram 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. Guram at Southwood Dental Studio?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Guram and the team at Southwood Dental Studio 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 you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Guram will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Southwood Dental Studio directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Guram.

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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Government assistance programs exist for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always check your private insurance coverage details and verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for before treatment.
