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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Forootan for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Maxilla Dental Clinic.

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, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment at Maxilla Dental Clinic.

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

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

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Forootan will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Forootan and the team will get to know you and your oral health. Expect a medical history form, a discussion about your dental concerns, a detailed examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr. Forootan will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
