What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Gholoobi at Dentistry in Newmarket?

Your first visit with Dr. Gholoobi will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination.

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 (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment.

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 used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Gholoobi 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).

They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Gholoobi may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Gholoobi will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Gholoobi's specific recommendation.
