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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact our clinic directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Mangat.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Mangat 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 require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is essential to follow Dr. Mangat's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC in BC?

In British Columbia, provincial health plans like the Medical Services Plan (MSP) 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 under MSP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients, 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). We strongly advise patients to verify their eligibility for any potential public coverage and to always review the details of their private dental insurance plan before treatment.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Mangat and the team will get to know you and your oral health history. You will fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Mangat will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. This is a great opportunity to ask questions.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Mangat determines the frequency based on your individual needs and follows guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

Dr. Mangat and our team are committed to making your visit comfortable. While we may not offer in-house sedation, please discuss any anxieties with Dr. Mangat. They can explore comfort measures and relaxation techniques, and if needed, can refer you to a specialist providing sedation services.
