• Effectively addressing a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal with Dr. Kukreja's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism), enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain and social interactions.

This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient in need of care.

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

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

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. 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. Kukreja 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. Kukreja for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Kukreja will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some 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). Following Dr. Kukreja's specific recommendation is essential.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, 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 eligibility for programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario). Always check your private dental insurance details regarding coverage before treatment.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Kukreja is the primary dental care provider, offering 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 cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding if offered). They educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs. Dr. Kukreja may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

Yes, Dr. Kukreja understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety. Townline Dentistry may offer various sedation options, such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation (depending on qualifications). Please discuss your anxiety with Dr. Kukreja during your consultation to determine the most appropriate approach.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kukreja at Townline Dentistry?

Your first visit will include a medical history form, a discussion of dental issues/goals, a detailed examination, and potentially digital X-rays. Dr. Kukreja will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
