At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE TRAN, 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 Tran frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Tran to see patients who were troubled by their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach successfully achieve their child calmly receiving dental injections due to a patient and skilled approach. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like maintaining a professional appearance that boosts their career prospects.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age, involves working systematically towards their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again. Dr Tran expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems.
• At Dr Tran's clinic, addressing concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their smile looking its absolute best for an important upcoming wedding, graduation, or other special event helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.
• Patients experiencing a piece of an old, large amalgam (silver) filling breaking off, leaving a tooth vulnerable often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Tran's practice, a key objective is a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort.

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

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE TRAN directly to arrange their visit with Dr Tran.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Tran 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Tran at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE TRAN?

Your first visit with Dr Tran 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 Tran 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.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Tran will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients 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. It is important to follow Dr Tran's specific recommendation.

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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is strongly recommended that you verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE TRAN.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

Cavity prevention relies on consistent home care and regular professional support from Dr Tran. This includes brushing for two minutes twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing to clean between teeth, minimizing consumption of sugary snacks and beverages, and attending routine dental exams and cleanings at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE TRAN. For extra defense, especially in children, Dr Tran might suggest dental sealants or in-office fluoride applications.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Tran 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
