At Bayside Dentistry, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr. Mandal frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Mandal's comprehensive care for needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain is meticulously designed to result in their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments without dental worries.
• For those affected by noticing their gums seemed to be receding or pulling away from their teeth, making teeth look longer, Dr. Mandal provides solutions that lead to their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their ability to enunciate words clearly for better communication.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening at Dr. Mandal's practice is consistently achieving the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr. Mandal about needing practical advice and guidance on how to properly care for their toddler's newly erupted first teeth is to attain their smile looking its absolute best for an important upcoming wedding, graduation, or other special event. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues.

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 always 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. Mandal 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).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Bayside Dentistry directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Mandal.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Mandal at Bayside Dentistry?

Your first visit with Dr. Mandal 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. Mandal 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). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Mandal will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Mandal's specific recommendation.
