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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Maziade 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 essential to follow Dr Maziade's specific recommendation for optimal oral health.

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

In Quebec, most routine and major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics are not covered by the provincial health plan (RAMQ) for the general population. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are typically paid out-of-pocket by patients, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before beginning treatment at DENTISTES & CIE.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Maziade at DENTISTES & CIE?

At your first appointment, Dr Maziade and the team at DENTISTES & CIE will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You will complete a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a thorough examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken for a complete assessment. Dr Maziade will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. This is an excellent opportunity to ask questions.

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

No, a referral is typically not needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You can contact DENTISTES & CIE directly to arrange your visit with Dr Maziade.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are also used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Maziade 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).
