• Dr. Janood's comprehensive care for feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning is meticulously designed to result in their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as being able to use their teeth for all normal functions without a second thought without dental worries.
• Patients presenting with an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment under Dr. Janood's experienced care.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Newton Smiles Dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Janood.

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, it is often recommended, and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans, to have a referral from a general dentist like Dr. Janood. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Janood identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. If unsure, check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance provider.

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 between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Janood 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).

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

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

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

In BC, provincial health plans (like Medical Services Plan (MSP) of BC) 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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Janood at Newton Smiles Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Janood and the team at Newton Smiles Dental will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr. Janood will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Generally, every 6 months for most patients for preventative care. Dr. Janood will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr. Janood's specific recommendation.
