• Difficulty with Dental Procedures Due to Severe Gag Reflex: Experiencing a hyperactive or severe gag reflex that significantly interferes with routine dental examinations, X-rays, impressions, or treatments.

This list offers some examples of conditions commonly addressed. A comprehensive diagnosis is always based on an individual assessment by Dr. Garg. If your specific oral health concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic to discuss your needs and appropriate treatment options.

• Surgical Extractions (Less Complex Cases - e.g., Sectioning, Erupted Wisdom Teeth): More involved tooth extractions that are beyond simple forceps removal, potentially including careful elevation of soft tissues for better visibility and access (for less complex surgical cases appropriate for a GP setting).
• Simple Tooth Extractions (Non-Surgical): Routine removal of teeth that are severely decayed, extensively damaged beyond restoration, very mobile due to advanced gum disease, or for orthodontic purposes, performed under local anesthesia when the tooth is fully erupted and easily accessible.
• Understanding Your Dental Treatment Plan: Fostering informed decision-making through comprehensive patient education about their dental health status and available treatment pathways.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Garg will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Garg's specific recommendations.

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

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

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Garg offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Garg understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Dental Corner offers various sedation options. These may include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation, depending on your needs and the planned procedure. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Garg during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for you.

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 necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Garg 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).

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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance plans. Check your private insurance coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before treatment. Also, verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for (e.g., Healthy Smiles Ontario for eligible children).

What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Garg typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Garg provides primary dental care for all ages. Services include 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 some cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists when needed. Dr. Garg may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Garg at Dental Corner?
