As a specialist in Specialty Practice in Endodontics, Dr. Nadeau is dedicated to helping patients achieve significant improvements related to their specific and often complex oral health needs. At Kingston Endodontics, the focus is on partnering with you towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Nadeau often consults with patients whose a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them significantly limits their enjoyment of no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Effectively addressing feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning with Dr. Nadeau's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of understanding the cause of their tooth wear and having a plan to prevent further damage, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in passing on good oral hygiene habits and a positive attitude towards dental care to their children and social interactions.
• Managing feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Nadeau and the dental team. The clear aim is always feeling well-equipped with advice on how to care for their toddler's developing teeth, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Understanding the frustration a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider can cause, Dr. Nadeau tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics, allowing for renewed participation in activities like enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Nadeau 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. Nadeau for a check-up and cleaning?

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

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In Ontario, provincial health plans like OHIP 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, 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). It's crucial to verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Nadeau at Kingston Endodontics?

At your initial appointment, Dr. Nadeau and the team will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Nadeau will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

No, a referral is typically not required to schedule an appointment with Dr. Nadeau. Patients can contact Kingston Endodontics directly.
