• If a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile has unfortunately put resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Bouhadana works closely with patients towards attaining no longer experiencing annoying food impaction between their teeth after restorative treatment, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Bouhadana for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE TAPIERO BOUHADANA.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Bouhadana at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE TAPIERO BOUHADANA?

Your first visit with Dr Bouhadana 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 Bouhadana 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 QC, 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always check your private dental insurance coverage details and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE TAPIERO BOUHADANA.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. Dr Bouhadana will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr Bouhadana's specific recommendation.
