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, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at City Dental.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use 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. Klitovchenko determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Klitovchenko at City Dental?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Klitovchenko and the team at City Dental will get to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Klitovchenko 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. Klitovchenko for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. Dr. Klitovchenko will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits for active gum disease or high caries risk). Follow Dr. Klitovchenko's specific recommendation.
