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). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at Archer Dental Baby Point.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using 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 treatments). Dr. Motahari determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Motahari for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Archer Dental Baby Point.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for preventative care. Dr. Motahari will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Motahari's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Motahari at Archer Dental Baby Point?
