At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE MAUDE BEAUCHAMP-PAYMENT, 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 Guérin frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Guérin often consults with patients whose their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure significantly limits their enjoyment of their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their receding gums being stabilized or treated, protecting their tooth roots and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Guérin when they first notice their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease, enabling them to once again enjoy feeling good about their overall appearance and the positive first impression their smile makes without hesitation.
• When an urgent need to replace a recently lost front tooth before other teeth started to shift or their appearance was significantly affected begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Guérin helps patients strive for feeling confident about effectively cleaning around their dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances after personalized instruction. This makes participating in activities such as enjoying romantic moments without self-consciousness about their breath or smile a pleasant and possible experience again.
• When patients discuss persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene, Dr Guérin outlines a path to their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably their smile reflecting their inner happiness and confidence.

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

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Guérin will personalize this schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others may have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Guérin's specific recommendations.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE MAUDE BEAUCHAMP-PAYMENT directly to arrange their visit with Dr Guérin.

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 RAMQ typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. 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 is crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE MAUDE BEAUCHAMP-PAYMENT.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Guérin at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE MAUDE BEAUCHAMP-PAYMENT?

At your first appointment, Dr. Guérin and the team will get to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and have a detailed oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr. Guérin will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. This is a great opportunity to ask questions.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE MAUDE BEAUCHAMP-PAYMENT'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. For urgent, non-life-threatening issues (severe toothache, knocked-out tooth, dental abscess with moderate swelling, broken tooth causing sharp pain), call the main office number at (514) 382-3368. The voicemail may provide instructions for emergency contact or direct you to an emergency dental service in Montréal.

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Guérin provides primary dental care for all ages. Services include 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 gum disease management, and possibly cosmetic procedures (whitening, bonding). They also provide oral hygiene education and refer to specialists for complex needs.

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Gums that bleed easily during brushing or flossing, appear red or puffy, or feel sore are common signs of gingivitis. Persistent bad taste or breath can also indicate gum disease. More advanced gum disease (periodontitis) may involve gums pulling away from teeth, noticeable tooth mobility, or discomfort when chewing. Regular check-ups with Dr. Guérin are crucial for early detection and treatment.

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Guérin will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
