• When a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain, Dr. Jha and the team work collaboratively with patients.

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, and annual maximums) before treatment at Sherway Dentistry.

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. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Jha determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Jha will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Jha's specific recommendations.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact Sherway Dentistry directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Jha.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Jha at Sherway Dentistry?

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form, discussing your dental concerns and goals, and undergoing a detailed oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Jha will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's an opportunity to ask questions.
