Dr. Al-Rubaye expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.

- 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 Mill Ridge Family Dental Care.
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr. Al-Rubaye for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Al-Rubaye will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Al-Rubaye's specific recommendations.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Al-Rubaye?
- No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Al-Rubaye for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Mill Ridge Family Dental Care.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Al-Rubaye at Mill Ridge Family Dental Care?
- Your first visit will typically include a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history; thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening); and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Al-Rubaye will discuss findings, address your 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 check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Al-Rubaye will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
