What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Mojdami at Christie Park Dental Clinic?

Your first visit with Dr. Mojdami 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. Mojdami 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.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr. Mojdami for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Christie Park Dental Clinic.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Mojdami will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if they are managing active gum disease or are at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between visits. It is important to follow Dr. Mojdami's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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 <strong>not</strong> 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 by OHIP. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (such as children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, or social assistance recipients). Programs like Healthy Smiles Ontario provide some coverage for children. It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at Christie Park Dental Clinic.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Mojdami is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide range of services, including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may offer cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. General Dentists also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs. Dr. Mojdami may offer specialized services in areas like General Dentistry with Certified Sedation Options based on additional training.

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Mojdami 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).

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

Yes, Dr. Mojdami understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Christie Park Dental Clinic offers various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Mojdami during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.
