Frequently Asked Questions about Dentist with Dr. Sidhu in Midland
- 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 regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment at Midland Bay Dental.
- 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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Sidhu will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Sidhu?
- Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Midland Bay Dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Sidhu.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Sidhu at Midland Bay Dental?
- At your initial appointment, Dr. Sidhu and the team at Midland Bay Dental will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Sidhu will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Sidhu for a check-up and cleaning?
- Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Sidhu 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). Follow Dr. Sidhu's specific recommendation.
