At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE SAINT-CHARLES, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr Pham frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Managing needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Pham and the dental team. The clear aim is always their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• If a dental problem that was causing significant difficulty or pain when they tried to eat certain types of foods has unfortunately put feeling that their dental health fully supports their active and engaged lifestyle on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Pham works closely with patients towards attaining their new partial or full denture feeling exceptionally stable, comfortable, and looking completely natural, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• The journey from a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite to wellness often involves Dr Pham's dedicated care.

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 <strong>not</strong> 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 <em>might</em> 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 your eligibility for any potential public coverage and always check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before beginning treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE SAINT-CHARLES.

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 further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Pham 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 do if I have a dental emergency outside of CLINIQUE DENTAIRE SAINT-CHARLES's regular office hours?

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), please go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of CLINIQUE DENTAIRE SAINT-CHARLES’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (450) 677-5505. Our voicemail message may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr Pham or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service available in the Longueuil area.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Pham at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE SAINT-CHARLES?

Your first visit with Dr Pham 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 Pham 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.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Pham typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Pham is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Pham for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE SAINT-CHARLES.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for most patients for preventative care. However, Dr Pham will recommend a personalized schedule based on 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 is important to follow Dr Pham's specific recommendation.
