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. Zhang 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 Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?

In AB, provincial health plans (like AHCIP) typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance plans. Patients should verify any potential public coverage and check their private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr. Zhang will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Zhang's specific recommendation.

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

At your initial appointment, expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Zhang will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
