A dental plan can help you cover some of the costs of your dental care. However, it is important to understand that your dental plan may not cover all of your treatment needs. The treatment and services covered and the percentage of coverage can vary widely based on the plan. Ask your employer for a plan booklet. Be aware of plan limits, percentage of coverage, and fees covered for each procedure.

You can reduce your hygiene appointment costs by practicing good dental health habits at home: brush and floss daily, limit sugary drinks and snacks, and don't smoke. It is also important to diagnose problems before they become more complex and costly. Talk to your dentist and ask if your dental office follows the suggested fee guide.

The Alberta Dental Association (ADA) produces an annual suggested fee guide for dentists in Alberta. This document outlines over 1,400 dental codes and code descriptors related to specific elements of dental treatment. It also provides suggested fees that serve as a guide only; dentists are not required to follow the guide or any fee schedule. Lacombe Dental Clinic follows the current Alberta Fee Guide.

How often you go for dental exams depends on your oral health needs. The goal is to catch small problems early. We may suggest that you visit more or less often depending on how well you care for your teeth and gums, problems that need to be checked or treated, how fast tartar builds up on your teeth, and so on.

How often you need to have x-rays also depends on your oral health. A healthy adult who has not had cavities or other problems for a couple of years probably won't need x-rays at every appointment. If your dental situation is less stable and your dentist is monitoring your progress, you may require more frequent x-rays.

It's important to get an early start on dental care, so your child will learn that visiting the dentist is a regular part of health care. The CDA encourages assessing infants within 6 months of the eruption of their first tooth or by one year of age. Simply call Lacombe Dental Clinic to find out at what age we prefer to see young patients for the first time.
