At Rusholme Family Dentistry, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr. Nezaminia frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Effectively addressing ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem with Dr. Nezaminia's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings and social interactions.
• Understanding the frustration experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow can cause, Dr. Nezaminia tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment, allowing for renewed participation in activities like their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort.
• Dr. Nezaminia understands that dealing with their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving feeling refreshed and clean after a thorough professional dental cleaning and check-up, helping patients comfortably get back to feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations and feeling their best.
• If a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider has unfortunately put actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr. Nezaminia works closely with patients towards attaining gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Nezaminia, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Nezaminia will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need visits every 3-4 months, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It's crucial to follow Dr. Nezaminia's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Nezaminia 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).

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

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it's often recommended, and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans, to have a referral from your general dentist. A referral ensures the specialist has the relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr. Nezaminia identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. If unsure, check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance provider.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Nezaminia at Rusholme Family Dentistry?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination, including 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. Nezaminia will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Nezaminia offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Nezaminia understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Rusholme Family Dentistry offers various sedation options, such as nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Nezaminia during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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 specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance, or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Nezaminia typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Nezaminia provides primary dental care, offering 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 gum disease management, and cosmetic procedures (if offered).
