Patient Info

Dental Cleanings: To reduce the risk of gingivitis (gum disease), we recommend dental hygiene visit every 3 to 9 months. Keep in mind, however, that the frequency of dental hygiene visits will be individualized based on the current condition of your mouth and your oral health needs. It’s important to ensure your teeth and gums remain healthy!

– Dental Exams: Regular dental exams are just as important as seeing a dental hygienist! The frequency of examinations should typically be between 6 to 12 months. However, this schedule will be individualized to meet your personal oral health needs. This is all based on various factors such as your history of cavities, gum disease, and other oral conditions. Everyone has unique dental needs, and at St. Paul Family Dental Centre, we customize a treatment plan to meet yours.

• St. Paul Family Dental Centre offers flexible payment options and work with a number of insurance providers. We can also direct-bill your insurance company. If you are unsure if your insurance provider is covered, contact us at (780) 645-6028.We also accept cash, debit, MasterCard, or Visa.

• Good oral health starts with the first tooth. Baby teeth play a major role in a child’s speech development and nutrition. Even though they will fall out, they should never be considered “disposable,” or be neglected.

  The first dental visit should take place by about the age of three. Advance visits allow us the opportunity to check for early signs of decay. Nonetheless, we encourage earlier visits to also help children become acclimated to the dentist.

• While our St. Paul Family Dental Centre dentists do not provide 24-hour emergency service, we know dental emergencies don’t always happen between regular business hours. Receiving the necessary and correct dental care could save your smile, and treat pain or symptoms you may be experiencing.

• We recommend flossing your teeth at least once a day. As part of your daily regimen, you can remove plaque build-up and any bits of food that brushing may miss.

We offer many cosmetic dentistry options at St Paul Family Dental Centre to help get you closer to the smile you desire.

• Tooth reshaping or re-contouring can fix slightly misshapen, chipped teeth or teeth that are too long.
• Alternatively, porcelain veneers are another option for misshapen, discoloured, chipped, crooked, or gapped teeth.

Some of our patients require digital x-rays every 6 months. Whereas others with excellent hygiene and low cavity risks only require x-rays every year or so. The frequency of x-rays will be individualized for you at your visit. Other reasons for having x-rays taken include:

• checking the jaw for signs of cancer or other abnormalities
• to assist with treatment diagnosis
• or as a requirement for certain procedures, such as root canal treatment.
