• Patients presenting with their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health under Dr. Dagher's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits without the former limitations or discomfort.
• Dr. Dagher understands that dealing with their child frequently complaining of a sore tooth or dental discomfort can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation, helping patients comfortably get back to enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile and feeling their best.
• Dr. Dagher often consults with patients whose a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them significantly limits their enjoyment of their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Dagher will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Dagher's specific recommendation for optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Dagher at Endodontic Solutions?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Dagher and the team at Endodontic Solutions 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. Dagher will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it's often recommended, and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans, to have a referral from a general dentist. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Dagher identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

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. Dagher 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).
