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. 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. Papneja 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).

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 review your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Papneja will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr. Papneja's specific recommendation.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Papneja at Axis Dental Group?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Papneja and the team will get to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Papneja will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Papneja for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Axis Dental Group.
