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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Adatia will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Adatia's specific recommendations.

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

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

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 also used. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Adatia 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).

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?

In Alberta, provincial health plans like AHCIP typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Adatia at the clinic?

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

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

While some specialists may accept patients directly, a referral from a general dentist like Dr. Adatia is often recommended or required by the specialist or insurance plans. A referral ensures the specialist has necessary background information. If Dr. Adatia feels specialist care is needed, they will provide a referral for coordinated care. Check with the specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.
