Dental Pain Emergency

• Dental Trauma (e.g., Knocked-out or Dislodged Tooth - Emergency Care): Urgent assessment and treatment for injuries to teeth and supporting oral structures.
• Lost Filling or Crown: Addressing situations where a dental filling or crown has become dislodged or fallen out, requiring temporary or permanent replacement.

Common Dental Issues

• Bad Breath (Halitosis) - Dental Causes: Helping patients achieve fresher breath by treating oral conditions that contribute to halitosis.

• Surgical Extractions (Less Complex Cases - e.g., Sectioning, Erupted Wisdom Teeth): More involved tooth extractions that are beyond simple forceps removal, potentially including careful elevation of soft tissues for better visibility and access (for less complex surgical cases appropriate for a GP setting).
• Root Canal Treatment (Non-Surgical Endodontics - Uncomplicated Cases): Treatment involving the removal of infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth, thorough cleaning and shaping of the root canal system, and sealing it to prevent reinfection, often for less complex endodontic cases.

At SPA DENTAIRE ILE-PERROT, 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 Sichet frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth, Dr Sichet's approach is focused on delivering the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence with a healthier smile.
• The journey from needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) to wellness often involves Dr Sichet's dedicated care. The milestone is their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration, which opens the door back to activities such as their child being excited to show off their newly sealed or filled tooth to friends.
• Dr Sichet's comprehensive care for a tooth that felt 'high' or uncomfortable after a recent dental filling, affecting their bite is meticulously designed to result in their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as their child focusing better at school, free from the distraction of dental issues without dental worries.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Sichet to see patients who were troubled by a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food successfully achieve their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Sichet, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Sichet is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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 always used to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Sichet 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).

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 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at SPA DENTAIRE ILE-PERROT.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Sichet will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Sichet's specific recommendation is crucial.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Sichet at SPA DENTAIRE ILE-PERROT?

Your first visit with Dr Sichet 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 Sichet will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
