Frequently Asked Questions about Dentist with Dr. Naagar in Oakville
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Naagar?
- No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Naagar for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Sixth Line Family Dental.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Naagar at Sixth Line Family Dental?
- Your first visit with Dr. Naagar 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. Naagar 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.
- 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 radiation exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Naagar 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 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 any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Naagar for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Naagar will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr. Naagar's specific recommendation is crucial.
- I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Naagar offer any sedation options?
- Yes, Dr. Naagar understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Sixth Line Family Dental offers various sedation options, which may include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Naagar during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

- A General Dentist like Dr. Naagar is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may offer cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding).
