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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Taoutel will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities might need visits every three to four months, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Taoutel's specific recommendations.

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. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Taoutel 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).

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Centre dentaire de Montréal directly to arrange their visit with Dr Taoutel.

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 (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Taoutel at Centre dentaire de Montréal?

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form, discussing your dental concerns and goals with Dr Taoutel, and undergoing a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Taoutel will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a great opportunity to ask questions.
