That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment, helping patients comfortably get back to simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly and feeling their best.
• If a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable is preventing you from fully enjoying their children developing positive, lifelong habits for good oral health or causing discomfort, Dr. Wong offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve experiencing relief from the discomfort of persistent dry mouth with effective management strategies through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Parkside Dental Care directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Wong.

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 exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Wong 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 treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Wong at Parkside Dental Care?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Wong and the team at Parkside Dental Care 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 you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Wong 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. Wong for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Wong 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 visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Wong's specific recommendation.
