What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Wang at KidsCorner Medical and Dental Clinic?

Your first visit with Dr. Wang will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Wang will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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. 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). It's crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at KidsCorner Medical and Dental Clinic.

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. Wang will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact KidsCorner Medical and Dental Clinic directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Wang.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some specialists accept patients directly, a referral from a general dentist is often recommended or required by the specialist or insurance plans. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant information and the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Wang identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral. Check with the specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. Dr. Wang will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs and risk factors. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others may have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr. Wang's specific recommendation.
