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

A General Dentist like Dr. Kaur is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care such as check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and sealants. Restorative treatments encompass fillings, crowns, and bridges. Dr. Kaur also performs basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, and provides initial management of gum disease. Cosmetic procedures, like whitening or bonding, may also be offered. Dr. Kaur educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs. They may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Kaur 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Kaur will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For instance, 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. Kaur's specific recommendation.

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

Yes, Dr. Kaur understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Confederation Dental offers various sedation options. These may include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation, depending on your specific needs and the planned procedure. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Kaur during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for you.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kaur at Confederation Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Kaur and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You will fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Kaur will then 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, 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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

No, a referral is not typically required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You are welcome to contact Confederation Dental directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Kaur.
