Toronto Dental Care Guide
Routine care, examinations, hygiene, restorative care and treatment questions.
Routine care
Care can include history updates, examinations, periodontal assessment, hygiene and preventive advice. Timing should reflect individual risk.
Cleaning and gums
Professional hygiene care removes deposits home care may not fully control and allows gum health and home technique to be reviewed.
Cavities and restorations
Decay varies in depth and activity. Management may range from prevention and monitoring to fillings, crowns or other treatment depending on diagnosis.
Root canals, crowns and extraction
Options depend on restorability, infection, periodontal support, symptoms and patient priorities.
Costs and plans
Ask which services are urgent or elective, what alternatives exist and how fees or insurance estimates are handled.
Follow-up
Persistent or worsening symptoms, unexpected swelling, fever or uncontrolled bleeding should be reported promptly to the treating professional.
