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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Kasner-Remer will personalize this recommendation based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health may have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is crucial to follow Dr Kasner-Remer's specific recommendations for your 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 within a hospital setting may be covered by RAMQ. Most dental care costs are typically paid out-of-pocket by patients, or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or via government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential to check your eligibility for any public coverage and to review your private dental insurance plan details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before beginning treatment at Hôpital général Juif.

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

Modern digital dental X-rays are very safe, utilizing minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary, such as for new patients, to detect decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Kasner-Remer will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists when necessary for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Kasner-Remer at Hôpital général Juif?
