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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact our clinic directly to arrange their visit with Dr Thi.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Thi typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Thi 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). Dr Thi also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr Thi and the team at the clinic 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 Thi 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 Thi for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Thi will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Thi's specific recommendation is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr Thi help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr Thi can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Thi will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

Check your private dental insurance coverage details and any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before treatment.
