• Many people seek Dr Lacroix's professional help and expertise when dealing with looking for a new family dentist who could provide comprehensive care for all members of their family, from children to adults. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to showing off a brighter, more youthful smile after cosmetic treatments.
• For patients where an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing is a primary concern, Dr Lacroix focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their child's dental emergency being handled swiftly and compassionately, minimizing distress.

At Dr Lacroix's practice, a key objective is their teeth feeling more stable and their bite more aligned after corrective treatment, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness.
• A key objective when treating a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food at Dr Lacroix's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Lacroix?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE BORDELEAU LACROIX directly to arrange their visit with Dr Lacroix.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In Quebec, provincial health plans like the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE BORDELEAU LACROIX.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Lacroix will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Lacroix at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE BORDELEAU LACROIX?

Your first visit with Dr Lacroix will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr Lacroix will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

How often should I (or my child) visit Dr Lacroix for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Lacroix will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). It's important to follow Dr Lacroix's specific recommendation.
