At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE ANNE E. BEAUDOIN, 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 Beaudoin frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those affected by noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity, Dr Beaudoin provides solutions that lead to their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing.
• The journey from wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age to wellness often involves Dr Beaudoin's dedicated care. The milestone is their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother, which opens the door back to activities such as delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance.
• When patients discuss a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal, Dr Beaudoin outlines a path to a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain.
• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Beaudoin about needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury is to attain their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Beaudoin, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE ANNE E. BEAUDOIN directly to arrange their visit with Dr Beaudoin.

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 further minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or to plan more complex treatments. Dr Beaudoin 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).

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

For most patients, visits every 6 months for preventative care are generally recommended. However, Dr Beaudoin will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or are at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between visits. It is important to follow Dr Beaudoin's specific recommendation.

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 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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is important to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE ANNE E. BEAUDOIN.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Beaudoin at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE ANNE E. BEAUDOIN?

Your first visit with Dr Beaudoin 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 Beaudoin will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed during this visit or scheduled for a subsequent appointment.
