PATIENT INFORMATION
Please call us at 604.266.8602 to schedule an appointment. We will try to get you in at a convenient time for you as soon as possible.
If you have an emergency or are in pain, every attempt will be made to see you that day.
When you arrive, please check in with the front desk, and there may be a short wait as unexpected delays and situations may have occurred. We greatly appreciate your patience.
At your first visit, please assist us by providing the following information:
1) A list of medications you are currently taking
2) Any x-rays that may have been taken recently at another dental office. These can be forwarded to us through e-mail at info@mc2dental.ca
3) Any information regarding your dental insurance. This will help us greatly expedite the process of filing your claims.
Please also let us know if you have a medical condition that may be of concern (eg. diabetes, high blood pressure, heart, liver, or kidney diseases) and any allergies you may have. We are dedicated to provide you with a safe level of care, and a thorough medical history will help us do so.
We accept most Canadian dental insurance policies, including ones from Desjardins, Greenshield, Manulife, Pacific Blue Cross, and Sunlife. For your convenience, we submit claims electronically directly to your insurance provider and accept direct payment of benefits from them. At the time of service, we will require your portion of the payment.
Please feel free to contact us if you have questions about your insurance policy. We will do our best to have all questions answered.
POST PROCEDURE INSTRUCTIONS
Please see PDF attached to the right.
Periodontal Therapy
After scaling and/or root planing, due to transient irritation of your soft tissues from our instruments and the bacteria removed, you may feel some soreness or discomfort for the next couple of days. The discomfort is well-tolerated by the majority of people, and afterwards you should notice firmer, tighter gums and decreased bleeding when brushing and flossing.
Direct Restorations (Fillings)
After having a cavity restored, if you feel that the filling is “high” when you next eat a meal, please give us a call back so we can adjust it for you promptly.
If the cavity was deep, you may experience some tenderness due to irritation to the nerve of the tooth. It should subside within a week, but if the discomfort worsens, please give us a call.
Root Canal Therapy
After a root canal is completed, there may still be residual tenderness associated with the tooth in question due to inflammation. Please take an over the counter analgesic such as Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen if needed for a few days, making sure to follow the instructions on the label of the medication.
If the root canal was done on a premolar or a molar, it is generally recommended to restore the tooth with a crown to prevent the tooth from fracturing as the back teeth do most of the chewing work in our mouths.
