• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Hébert-Pion about wondering if their child's teeth were erupting in the correct sequence and alignment for their age is to attain their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.
• Many people seek Dr Hébert-Pion's professional help and expertise when dealing with a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently feeling confident that their gum health is being actively maintained, preventing future problems, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain.
• Dr Hébert-Pion understands that dealing with their child having a pronounced fear of needles or injections at the dental office, requiring a very patient approach can be challenging.

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly, involves working systematically towards their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Hébert-Pion 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 services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Hébert-Pion typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Hébert-Pion 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 Hébert-Pion also educates on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Hébert-Pion at CENTRE DENTAIRE LES COURS?

Your first visit with Dr Hébert-Pion 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 Hébert-Pion 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.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Hébert-Pion 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). Following Dr Hébert-Pion's specific recommendation is crucial.

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 (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Hébert-Pion?

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact CENTRE DENTAIRE LES COURS directly to arrange your visit with Dr Hébert-Pion.
