Frequently Asked Questions about Dentiste with Dr Mohammed in Brossard
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr Mohammed for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Mohammed will personalize your visit schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, patients managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities might need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Always follow Dr Mohammed's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Mohammed at Centre Dentaire Taschereau?
- At your initial appointment, Dr Mohammed and the team at Centre Dentaire Taschereau 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 Mohammed will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
- 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 only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Mohammed 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 Mohammed?
- No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Mohammed for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Centre Dentaire Taschereau.
- 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 limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by RAMQ. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Government assistance programs may provide coverage for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Always verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.
