At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PÉDIATRIQUE DE SALABERRY INC, 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 Quach frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Quach to see patients who were troubled by experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple successfully achieve their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like biting into sandwiches or other challenging foods with complete confidence.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for one of their teeth starting to feel a bit loose or wobbly at Dr Quach's practice is consistently achieving experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism). This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them is a common journey for patients under Dr Quach's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their old, unsightly silver filling being replaced with a natural-looking tooth-coloured restoration, so that daily routines and pleasures like concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort become straightforward again.
• The journey from experiencing diffuse facial pain or muscle tenderness that they suspected might be related to their jaw joint or bite to wellness often involves Dr Quach's dedicated care. The milestone is gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion, which opens the door back to activities such as their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits.

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

Ample parking is generally available close to the dental office; please observe local signage.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Quach will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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 oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Quach's specific recommendation is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Quach at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PÉDIATRIQUE DE SALABERRY INC?

Your first visit with Dr Quach 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 Quach 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.

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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PÉDIATRIQUE DE SALABERRY INC.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PÉDIATRIQUE DE SALABERRY INC's regular office hours?

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), please go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PÉDIATRIQUE DE SALABERRY INC’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (514) 331-8300. Our voicemail message may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr Quach or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service available in the Montréal area.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Quach 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 include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also educate patients on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE PÉDIATRIQUE DE SALABERRY INC directly to arrange their visit with Dr Quach.

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 to further minimize exposure. 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 Quach 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).
