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

A General Dentist like Dr Dabbas is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures such as whitening or bonding. Dr Dabbas also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when more complex needs arise.

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 limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It's crucial to check your eligibility for any public coverage and review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR BASEL DABBAS.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR BASEL DABBAS's regular office hours?

For life-threatening emergencies (severe bleeding, difficulty breathing due to swelling, significant facial trauma), go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent, non-life-threatening issues (severe toothache, knocked-out tooth, dental abscess with swelling, broken tooth causing pain), call CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR BASEL DABBAS at (514) 731-1935. The voicemail may provide instructions for emergency contact or direct you to an emergency dental service in Montréal.

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

Generally, check-ups and cleanings are recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr Dabbas will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (cavities, gum disease), and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr Dabbas's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Dabbas at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR BASEL DABBAS?

At your first visit, expect to complete a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Dabbas will then explain their assessment and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a good opportunity to ask questions.

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

Dental X-rays are safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (new patients, checking for decay, assessing bone health, planning complex treatments). Dr Dabbas will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and risk factors, following ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

No, you generally don't need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Dabbas for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR BASEL DABBAS.
