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 provided in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting <em>might</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., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Kingsgate Dental.

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

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

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

No, a referral is typically not needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist like Dr. Largani. You can contact Kingsgate Dental directly to book your visit.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, particularly modern digital X-rays using 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, plan treatments). Dr. Largani will determine the frequency based on your oral health, risk factors, and history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Largani at Kingsgate Dental?

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form, discussing your dental concerns and goals with Dr. Largani, and undergoing a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Largani will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a good opportunity to ask questions.
