At N/A, 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. Wojt frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients frequently come to Dr. Wojt with concerns about a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence, making a positive and lasting return to their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Patients experiencing wanting to understand what was causing their teeth to appear worn down, shorter, or a bit translucent often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr. Wojt's practice, a key objective is being able to enjoy a wider variety of foods without pain or difficulty chewing, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues.
• When patients discuss persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene, Dr. Wojt outlines a path to no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle.
• For those affected by their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider, Dr. Wojt provides solutions that lead to their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr. Wojt will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual 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's essential to follow Dr. Wojt's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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

Dr. Wojt and our team at N/A are committed to making your dental experience as comfortable as possible. While we may not offer extensive sedation options in-house, please discuss any anxieties you have with Dr. Wojt. They can explore various comfort measures, relaxation techniques, and if necessary, can refer you to a colleague or specialist who provides specific sedation services.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Wojt at N/A?

Your first visit with Dr. Wojt 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. Wojt 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.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Wojt 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 services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Wojt typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Wojt is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, 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 whitening or bonding. They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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 by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It's crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact N/A directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Wojt.
