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 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 your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Sleep for Dentistry.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Sleep for Dentistry directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Landzberg.

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

Can persistent bad breath or bleeding gums be a sign I need to see a Periodontist like Dr. Landzberg?

Yes, persistent bad breath or bleeding gums can be signs of gum disease (periodontitis). While a general dentist often provides initial treatment, a Periodontist like Dr. Landzberg specializes in diagnosing and treating more advanced or complex cases, including surgical and non-surgical therapies. A referral from a general dentist is common.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Landzberg at Sleep for Dentistry?

At your initial appointment, expect a medical history review, discussion of dental issues/goals, a detailed mouth examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Landzberg will explain their assessment and recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Landzberg will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits for active gum disease or high caries risk). Follow Dr. Landzberg's specific recommendations.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some specialists may accept patients directly, a referral from a general dentist is often recommended or required by the specialist or insurance plans. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information. If Dr. Landzberg identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral.
