• If wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Nadeau develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain.

This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Nadeau at CENTRE DENTAIRE ETHIER & NADEAU?

At your initial appointment, Dr Nadeau and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE ETHIER & NADEAU will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Nadeau will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial 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 CENTRE DENTAIRE ETHIER & NADEAU.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Nadeau 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 (e.g., those 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 Nadeau's specific recommendation.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Nadeau 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).
