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

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

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, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment.

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 used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Bogha 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Bogha at Frederick Dental?

Your first visit will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a 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. Bogha will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

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

Yes, Dr. Bogha understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Frederick Dental offers nitrous oxide (laughing gas) sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Bogha 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. Bogha for a check-up and cleaning?

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Bogha will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months).

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Bogha is the primary dental care provider, offering 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 management of gum disease, and may offer cosmetic procedures. They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs. Dr. Bogha may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.
