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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for preventative care. However, Dr St-Martin will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (like cavities or gum disease), and existing conditions. For instance, those managing gum disease or at high risk for cavities might need visits every 3-4 months, while patients with excellent long-term oral health may have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr St-Martin's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr St-Martin at ORDRE DES DENTISTES DU QUÉBEC?

Your first visit with Dr St-Martin 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 St-Martin 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.

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. Some limited dental surgeries done in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Check your eligibility for public coverage and always review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at ORDRE DES DENTISTES DU QUÉBEC.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr St-Martin typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr St-Martin is the primary dental care provider for all ages. Services include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and potentially cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also provide oral hygiene education and refer to specialists for complex needs.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr St-Martin?

No, a referral isn't needed to see a general dentist. Contact ORDRE DES DENTISTES DU QUÉBEC directly to schedule an appointment with Dr St-Martin.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are only taken when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan treatments). Dr St-Martin determines the frequency based on individual oral health, risk factors, and history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
