• Numerous patients have successfully addressed a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing with Dr. Asi's dedicated support and clinical expertise.

• Through Dr. Asi's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing often find they can readily achieve experiencing complete relief from pain when biting down on a previously problematic tooth and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like feeling comfortable and pain-free throughout their day, no longer bothered by a nagging dental problem.
• Are you struggling with their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation?

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Associated Endodontists directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Asi.

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for preventative care. However, Dr. Asi will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Asi'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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Asi 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Asi at Associated Endodontists?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Asi and the team at Associated Endodontists will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Asi will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Associated Endodontists.
