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

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

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Baidya 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).

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

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Baidya will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Baidya's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Baidya at Himalayan Dental Clinic?

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

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