Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC in BC?

In British Columbia, provincial health plans such as the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically do <strong>not</strong> cover most routine or major dental procedures provided in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed within a hospital setting <em>may</em> be covered. The majority of dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or via government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Patients should verify their eligibility for any public coverage and review their private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Vancouver Harbour Dental.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Toosi will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (cavities, gum disease), and existing conditions. Some patients might require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months for active gum disease or high caries risk), while others may have longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Toosi's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Toosi at Vancouver Harbour Dental?

Your first visit will include a comprehensive dental examination: review of medical and dental history; thorough check of teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (oral cancer screening); and necessary X-rays. Dr. Toosi will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan (if needed). A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Toosi determines frequency based on individual oral health, risk factors, and history, following ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

No referral is typically needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact Vancouver Harbour Dental directly to arrange your visit with Dr. Toosi.
