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

In British Columbia, provincial health plans such as the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically do <strong>not</strong> cover routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries done in a hospital setting <em>may</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., low-income children, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for public coverage and review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment.

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

Your first visit with Dr. Hassan 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. Hassan will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, a referral from your general dentist, like Dr. Hassan, is often recommended or required by the specialist or your insurance plan. A referral ensures the specialist has the necessary background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Hassan determines you need specialist care, they will provide a referral for coordinated care. Always check with the specialist's office or your insurance provider if you are unsure.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Hassan is your primary dental care provider, offering a wide range of services for all ages. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and potentially cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also provide oral hygiene education and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Hassan for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can usually book an appointment directly with the clinic.

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 only taken when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr. Hassan will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr. Hassan will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors (cavities, gum disease), and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others may have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Hassan's specific recommendations.
