As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Endodontics, Dr. Huynh is dedicated to helping patients achieve significant improvements related to their specific and often complex oral health needs. At Rosedale Endodontics, the focus is on partnering with you towards outcomes such as:

• The primary focus for patients seeking help for concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly at Dr. Huynh's practice is consistently achieving their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments.
• Patients experiencing an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Huynh's practice, a key objective is their child calmly receiving dental injections due to a patient and skilled approach, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet.
• For patients where their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities is a primary concern, Dr. Huynh focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully feeling good about their overall appearance and the positive first impression their smile makes.
• At Dr. Huynh's clinic, addressing noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism.

Your specialized treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Huynh, will be meticulously designed to address your unique concerns and help you reach your specific objectives within their area of expertise. Dr. Huynh is committed to providing the highest standard of specialized care, tailored to your individual needs.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Huynh 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's crucial to follow Dr. Huynh's specific recommendation for optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Huynh at Rosedale Endodontics?

Your first visit with Dr. Huynh 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. Huynh 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.

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). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Rosedale Endodontics.

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

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

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended, and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans, to have a referral from a general dentist. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Huynh identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Huynh 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).

Why is it important to try and save a tooth with root canal treatment by an Endodontist like Dr. Huynh, instead of just extracting it?

Saving a natural tooth with endodontic treatment is usually the best option because it maintains natural chewing function, normal biting force, and natural appearance. It also prevents adjacent teeth from shifting, which can lead to other dental problems. Replacing an extracted tooth with a bridge or implant can be more complex and costly in the long run.
