At Dr. Tammy D. Cameron's practice, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr. Cameron frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr. Cameron to see patients who were troubled by experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits successfully achieve their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr. Cameron when they first notice a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management, enabling them to once again enjoy enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile without hesitation.
• Dr. Cameron's comprehensive care for their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development is meticulously designed to result in their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos without dental worries.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed their child having a severe toothache that kept them up at night and required immediate attention with Dr. Cameron's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem once more.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Cameron, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

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

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Cameron and the team 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, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Cameron will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?

In Alberta, provincial health plans like AHCIP typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often from employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits). Verify any potential public coverage and always check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

No, a referral isn't needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact the clinic directly.

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. Cameron will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
