At Centre Dentaire Rothwell Dental Center, 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. Theoret frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun, Dr. Theoret and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation is a common journey for patients under Dr. Theoret's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their breath feeling consistently fresh and clean due to improved oral health, so that daily routines and pleasures like their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions become straightforward again.
• Effectively addressing an old dental crown that needed to be replaced because it was visibly worn, chipped, poorly fitting, or had decay underneath with Dr. Theoret's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their previously loose tooth feeling stable and secure after treatment, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in no longer needing to frequently visit the dentist for recurring problems due to better preventative care and social interactions.
• When patients discuss a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own, Dr. Theoret outlines a path to their slightly crooked front teeth being straightened effectively with a conservative cosmetic option, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Theoret at Centre Dentaire Rothwell Dental Center?

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Centre Dentaire Rothwell Dental Center directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Theoret.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In Ontario, provincial health plans like OHIP 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 may be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may 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 Rothwell Dental Center.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Theoret 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 more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) while others might have slightly longer intervals. It's crucial to follow Dr. Theoret's specific recommendations.

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. X-rays are taken only when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Theoret 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).
