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

Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings with Dr. Arora are essential for early detection and prevention. Dr. Arora may also recommend dental sealants or professional fluoride treatments for added protection, particularly for children.

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

Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Arora during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Dentistry@Carleton Place directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Arora.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Arora at Dentistry@Carleton Place?

Your first visit with Dr. Arora 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. Arora 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.

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 minimize any potential 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. Arora 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 check your private dental insurance coverage details and any potential public coverage you may be eligible for before starting treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Arora 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. Dr. Arora will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Follow Dr. Arora's specific recommendation.
