What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Schramm-Groulx typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Schramm-Groulx 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, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease (gingivitis and mild periodontitis), and may also offer cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding. They also provide patient education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Schramm-Groulx?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique Dentaire 832 directly to arrange their visit with Dr Schramm-Groulx.

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan more complex treatments. Dr Schramm-Groulx 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 expect during my first dental visit with Dr Schramm-Groulx at Clinique Dentaire 832?

Your first visit 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 Schramm-Groulx will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if 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 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). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Clinique Dentaire 832.

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

Generally, check-ups and cleanings are recommended every 6 months for most patients. However, Dr Schramm-Groulx 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 is essential to follow Dr Schramm-Groulx's specific recommendation.
