- 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 always used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Parikh 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).
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Parikh?
- No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Parikh for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Clinique Dentaire Cornwall/Cornwall Dental Clinic.
- 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 public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details before treatment at Clinique Dentaire Cornwall/Cornwall Dental Clinic.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Parikh for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Parikh will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr. Parikh's specific recommendation.
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Parikh typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr. Parikh provides primary dental care for all ages, offering preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial gum disease management, and cosmetic procedures (if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs. Dr. Parikh may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Parikh at Clinique Dentaire Cornwall/Cornwall Dental Clinic?
