What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Dubé at CABINET DE PROSTHODONTIE DRE CATHERINE DUBÉ?

Your first visit with Dr Dubé 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 Dubé 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.

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

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

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Dubé 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 do if I have a dental emergency outside of CABINET DE PROSTHODONTIE DRE CATHERINE DUBÉ'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 CABINET DE PROSTHODONTIE DRE CATHERINE DUBÉ’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 (450) 582-7778. Our voicemail message may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr Dubé or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service available in the Repentigny area.

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

Generally, every 6 months for most patients is recommended for preventative care. Dr Dubé will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some 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). Please follow Dr Dubé's specific recommendation.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Dubé for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CABINET DE PROSTHODONTIE DRE CATHERINE DUBÉ.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In QC, provincial health plans (like 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, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and check your private dental insurance details before starting treatment at CABINET DE PROSTHODONTIE DRE CATHERINE DUBÉ.
