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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Nguyen at CENTRE DENTAIRE?

At your initial appointment, Dr Nguyen and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE 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 Nguyen will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

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

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of CENTRE DENTAIRE'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 CENTRE DENTAIRE’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) 849-1038. Our voicemail message may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr Nguyen or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service available in the Montréal area.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Nguyen for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CENTRE DENTAIRE.

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 Nguyen 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).

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 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. Always check your private dental insurance details and verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for before starting treatment.
