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

A General Dentist like Dr Ibrahim 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 Ibrahim also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Ibrahim at Clinique Dentaire Grande-Allée?

At your initial appointment, Dr Ibrahim and the team at Clinique Dentaire Grande-Allée will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Ibrahim will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Early signs of gum disease (gingivitis) often include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums (especially when brushing or flossing), and sometimes persistent bad breath. If it progresses to periodontitis, you might notice receding gums (teeth appearing longer), pus between teeth and gums, loose teeth, or changes in your bite. If you observe any of these symptoms, it's important to schedule an evaluation with Dr Ibrahim promptly.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique Dentaire Grande-Allée directly to arrange their visit with Dr Ibrahim.

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 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. Patients should verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for and check their private dental insurance details before treatment.

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 used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary. Dr Ibrahim 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).
