• For individuals troubled by a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain, Dr. Sarooshi's approach is focused on delivering receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects with a healthier smile.
• Patients presenting with their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment under Dr. Sarooshi's experienced care.

• Patients frequently come to Dr. Sarooshi with concerns about their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease, making a positive and lasting return to no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues not just possible, but highly feasible.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Sarooshi is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr. Sarooshi also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

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 provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, or 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 N/A.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Sarooshi at N/A?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes reviewing 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. Sarooshi will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often 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 that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Sarooshi will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Early signs of gum disease (gingivitis) include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums (especially when brushing or flossing), and sometimes bad breath. Periodontitis (advanced gum disease) may show receding gums, pus between teeth and gums, loose teeth, or changes in your bite. If you notice these symptoms, see Dr. Sarooshi promptly.

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

Yes, Dr. Sarooshi understands dental anxiety. To help you feel more relaxed, N/A may offer various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety with Dr. Sarooshi during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Sarooshi will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs and risk factors. Some patients may need more frequent visits.

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

No, you don't need a referral to see a general dentist for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with N/A.
