At Queensbury Dental Centre, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr. Jung frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities, Dr. Jung's approach is focused on delivering the inflammation around their dental implant being successfully treated, ensuring its longevity. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out with a healthier smile.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Jung when they first notice experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized, enabling them to once again enjoy their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain without hesitation.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Jung to see patients who were troubled by their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure successfully achieve a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth.

• At Dr. Jung's clinic, addressing concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Jung will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

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

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

For most patients, we generally recommend check-ups and cleanings every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr. Jung 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 may have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Jung's specific recommendation is key.

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 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always check the details of your private dental insurance and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before starting treatment.
