At Clinique dentaire Dentolinea Inc., 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 Jawad frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients frequently come to Dr Jawad with concerns about a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation, making a positive and lasting return to no longer having to worry about a loose crown or bridge when they are out not just possible, but highly feasible.
• If a desire to discuss options for a comprehensive 'smile makeover' to address multiple aesthetic concerns is preventing you from fully enjoying actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern or causing discomfort, Dr Jawad offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• When patients discuss an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options, Dr Jawad outlines a path to a significant reduction in jaw muscle soreness and tension headaches related to bruxism, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth.
• For those affected by a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident, Dr Jawad provides solutions that lead to their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause.

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

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

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. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Jawad 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).

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Jawad for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Clinique dentaire Dentolinea Inc..

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 usually 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, social assistance recipients). 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 regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Clinique dentaire Dentolinea Inc..

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Jawad at Clinique dentaire Dentolinea Inc.?

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