At CENTRE DENTAIRE DU SÉMINAIRE, 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 Glenn frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Glenn's practice, a key objective is finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in feeling the smooth, clean surfaces of their teeth after a professional cleaning and polishing.
• For individuals troubled by a wisdom tooth starting to cause significant pain, pressure, or signs of infection, Dr Glenn's approach is focused on delivering clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children with a healthier smile.
• Through Dr Glenn's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities often find they can readily achieve a significant reduction in jaw muscle soreness and tension headaches related to bruxism and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like speaking clearly and confidently in professional meetings or social gatherings.
• For those affected by feeling self-conscious about the stained or yellowish appearance of their teeth, Dr Glenn provides solutions that lead to their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Glenn at CENTRE DENTAIRE DU SÉMINAIRE?

Your first visit with Dr Glenn 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 Glenn 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.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Glenn typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Glenn is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including 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 cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). Dr Glenn also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Glenn will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Glenn's specific recommendation is crucial.

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. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance plans. Patients should verify any potential public coverage and check their private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of CENTRE DENTAIRE DU SÉMINAIRE's regular office hours?

For life-threatening emergencies (severe bleeding, difficulty breathing), go to the nearest hospital or call 911.

Their voicemail may provide instructions for emergency contact or direct you to an emergency dental service.

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 taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay). Dr Glenn will determine the frequency based on individual needs, adhering to ALARA guidelines.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact CENTRE DENTAIRE DU SÉMINAIRE directly.
