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

In British Columbia, provincial health plans like the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically do not cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by MSP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, or social assistance recipients). It's crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to carefully review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before beginning 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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Rozon will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines such as ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

For most adults, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Rozon will personalize your (or your child's) schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months for those managing gum disease or at high risk for cavities), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Always follow Dr. Rozon's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Rozon at the clinic?

Your first visit with Dr. Rozon will typically include a comprehensive dental examination. This involves reviewing your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Rozon will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and develop a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be part of this first visit or scheduled soon after.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Rozon typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Rozon is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide range of services, including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may offer cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, a referral from your general dentist, like Dr. Rozon, is often recommended or required by the specialist or your insurance plan. A referral ensures the specialist has the necessary background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Rozon determines you need specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. Always check with the specialist's office or your insurance provider if you are unsure.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Rozon for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with the clinic.
