At Kiwi Dental, 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. Baghdadi frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The journey from experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease to wellness often involves Dr. Baghdadi's dedicated care. The milestone is the sore spot or ulcer in their mouth healing completely after diagnosis and treatment, which opens the door back to activities such as no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems.
• For individuals troubled by wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth, Dr. Baghdadi's approach is focused on delivering their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments with a healthier smile.
• Patients experiencing their smile not looking as bright, white, or vibrant as it used to, prompting interest in whitening often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Baghdadi's practice, a key objective is their previously dark, non-vital tooth being internally bleached or restored to a natural shade, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.
• If their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care is preventing you from fully enjoying enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity or causing discomfort, Dr. Baghdadi offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again through comprehensive and personalized dental care.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr. Baghdadi, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr. Baghdadi is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Baghdadi 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 visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr. Baghdadi's specific recommendation for 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 NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. 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 (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). We recommend verifying any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and checking the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Kiwi Dental.

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

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

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Baghdadi 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Baghdadi at Kiwi Dental?

Your first visit with Dr. Baghdadi 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. Baghdadi will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
