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

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

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 dental care provided in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting <em>may</em> be covered by MSP. Most dental costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, annual maximums) before commencing treatment at Thunderbird dental.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used to further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Kaur will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Kaur at Thunderbird dental?

At your first appointment, Dr. Kaur and the Thunderbird dental team will get to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Kaur will then explain their findings and any recommended treatment.

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

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