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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Aran for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with the clinic.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC in BC?

In British Columbia, the provincial health plan (Medical Services Plan, or MSP) typically does <strong>not</strong> cover routine or major dental procedures in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting <em>might</em> be covered. Most dental care is paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for public coverage and review your private insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Aran at the clinic?

Your first visit with Dr. Aran 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. Aran 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.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Aran will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (cavities, gum disease), and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months for active gum disease or high caries risk), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Aran's specific recommendations.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Aran will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
