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

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

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Ajwani offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Ajwani understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Grandview Dental Clinic offers various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Ajwani during your consultation so that they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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 always used to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Ajwani will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Ajwani is your primary dental care provider, offering a wide range of services for patients of all ages. This includes 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 also offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer to specialists when necessary for more complex needs. Dr. Ajwani may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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. 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 any potential public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Ajwani at Grandview Dental Clinic?

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form, discussing your dental concerns and goals with Dr. Ajwani, and undergoing a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken.
