• For patients where a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients is a primary concern, Dr. Baumann focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly.

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 provided by 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 (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at 1 Dental Unit.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Baumann at 1 Dental Unit?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Baumann and the team at 1 Dental Unit 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. Baumann will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Baumann for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with 1 Dental Unit.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Baumann will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Always follow Dr. Baumann's specific recommendations.
