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

In British Columbia, provincial health plans like the Medical Services Plan (MSP) typically do not cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, or social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before beginning treatment.

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

At your initial appointment, Dr. Rosang and the team will get to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Rosang will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. This is a good time to ask questions.

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 only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Rosang will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, following ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Rosang will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors (cavities or gum disease), and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months for active gum disease), while others may have longer intervals. Follow Dr. Rosang's specific recommendations.

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

No, you generally don't need a referral to see Dr. Rosang for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with the clinic.
