FAQ for Adult and Children Dental Care by Family Dentist in Brampton

 

FAQ or "frequently asked questions" are a small collection of answers to what we are often asked. Here are Common FAQ’s on Adult and children’s dental health.

 If you have a question whose answer you cannot find here, contact the Family Dentist in Brampton and ask them.

How often should you go to the dentist for a check-up?

It is very individual; the recommendations range from one to four times a year. But, of course, this depends on the state of health of the teeth and any accompanying illnesses. 

Two checks per year are recommended and are also paid for by the health insurance companies. Patients who have severe periodontal disease or who have diabetes, for example, should be checked three to four times a year.

I have a toothache, what can I do?

If you have complaints and toothache, you can, of course, call us at any time during our opening hours. In dental emergencies, you can also reach Family Dentist in Brampton after the opening times. 

Why does health insurance not cover all costs?

The health insurance companies are only legally obliged to take over the "necessary" services.  

Insured persons cannot claim services that are not necessary or uneconomical, service providers are not allowed to provide services, and health insurances are not allowed to approve them. 

This also means that, for example, aesthetically high-quality composite restorations or ceramic-veneered crowns in the posterior region go beyond the "sufficient level" according to the legislator and are therefore only partially subsidized by the health insurance companies.

Do you have to wait longer for an appointment as a public health patient than a private patient?

When making appointments, Family Dentist in Brampton does not differentiate between types of health insurance but rather according to the indication. 

For this reason, cases of pain are called in as soon as possible, while normal controls generally do not have to be acutely scheduled. So for us, the need for treatment has priority, not the type of insurance.

Is a root canal treatment painful?

Do whiteness teeth always have to be removed?

Whiteness teeth do not have to be removed if there are no problems to be expected because they are full-fledged teeth. 

They should only be removed if they cannot be kept hygienically clean, are much tilted or grow crooked, or if it is foreseeable that they will not have sufficient space when they breakthrough.

Unfortunately, this cannot be said in general terms, because of course, it depends on the filling material and the filling size. High-quality composite fillings can, however, last ten years or more.

At what age should my child go to the dentist for the first time?

Basically, from the first teeth explode. Although there are usually no immediate dental problems this early, trust can be built early, and the association with the Brampton Dentist is not immediately associated with pain. 

In addition, you can playfully approach a dental treatment, for example, by polishing etc., so that if the worst comes to the worst, there is a cordial relationship of trust without fears.

Why are healthy milk teeth important?

Carious or damaged milk teeth can, of course, cause pain and make eating difficult. But healthy milk teeth also play an important role in the child's psychological wellbeing (teasing, etc.). 

Already with the milk teeth, the course is set for a healthy permanent set of teeth. However, in a destroyed or attacked deciduous dentition, the caries bacteria are "grown" untreated in the oral cavity and can later negatively influence the spectrum and number of pathogenic bacteria and even attack the permanent teeth. 

Deciduous teeth also play an important role in the development of the jaw. Their milk teeth also serve as placeholders for the permanent teeth if milk teeth are lost prematurely or have to be removed.

What causes fear of the Family Dentist in Brampton in children?

Experience has shown that the parents' fear is transferred to the child. Even if your child has never been to the dentist, careless statements made by you or someone else can be frightening. 

Unfortunately, psychological mistakes are made repeatedly when treating children, so the cause of fear can lie in improper treatment. Therefore, one should turn to a Family Dentist in Brampton who is experienced in treating children.

Is a sugar-free diet that important, even if I brush my teeth regularly?

Sugar is and will remain the main cause of tooth decay. It is not the sugar itself that destroys the toe, but the acidic excretions of bacteria that the sugar serves as food. If you cannot reduce your sugar intake, brushing your teeth after consumption is certainly a good way of preventing tooth decay.

Is tooth decay hereditary?

No, tooth decay is not inheritable. Tooth decay is a disease of civilization and is primarily diet-related. However, the germs responsible for this can be passed on from parents to children, especially if they are at high risk of tooth decay. Therefore, you should not lick spoons or pacifiers from children.
