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). Always check your private dental insurance and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for 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. Dr. Wahba 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).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Dentistry in Newmarket directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Wahba.

They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Wahba 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. Wahba for a check-up and cleaning?

Generally, every 6 months for most patients for preventative care. Dr. Wahba will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs and risk factors. Some may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals.
