At Clinique dentaire J'aime mes dents, 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 Brown frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing, Dr Brown offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of enjoying a cold ice cream or a hot cup of coffee without wincing from tooth sensitivity.
• Patients experiencing a specific desire to ensure their gums remained healthy and stable as they got older, preventing future problems often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Brown's practice, a key objective is their child's dental emergency being handled swiftly and compassionately, minimizing distress, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues.
• Dr Brown understands that dealing with their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic, helping patients comfortably get back to their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them and feeling their best.
• Effectively addressing a tooth that suddenly became extremely and uncharacteristically sensitive to cold water or air, causing sharp pain with Dr Brown's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort and social interactions.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Brown, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Brown is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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 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 Brown 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).

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 the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (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 crucial 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 J'aime mes dents.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Brown 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 visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It's essential to follow Dr Brown's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire J'aime mes dents directly to arrange their visit with Dr Brown.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Brown at Clinique dentaire J'aime mes dents?

At your initial appointment, Dr Brown and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Brown will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
