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. Denkovski 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).

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

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Denkovski is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: 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 cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). Dr. Denkovski also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, 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 verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

For most patients, every 6 months is generally recommended for preventative care. Dr. Denkovski 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, while others might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr. Denkovski's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Denkovski at Don Mills Dental?

At your initial appointment, expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Denkovski will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

Cavity prevention involves brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing, minimizing sugary foods and drinks, and regular dental exams and cleanings. Dr. Denkovski might also suggest dental sealants or fluoride applications.
