At Carrefour Dentaire 440, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr Abdel-Rahman frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For patients where wondering if their child would likely need orthodontic treatment in the future based on their current dental development is a primary concern, Dr Abdel-Rahman focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in a tooth that had become painfully sensitive to sweet foods now feeling completely normal and comfortable. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness.
• Are you struggling with their existing dentures not fitting as comfortably or securely as they used to? Dr Abdel-Rahman partners with patients to target their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again, making a comfortable and confident return to important activities such as their child being able to eat nutritious crunchy fruits and vegetables without discomfort a much more achievable reality.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Abdel-Rahman to see patients who were troubled by their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession successfully achieve feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain.
• Dr Abdel-Rahman understands that dealing with a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving a noticeable reduction or cessation of gum bleeding when flossing, indicating improved gingival health, helping patients comfortably get back to showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion and feeling their best.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Abdel-Rahman, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Abdel-Rahman?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Carrefour Dentaire 440 directly to arrange their visit with Dr Abdel-Rahman.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Abdel-Rahman 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 caries risk may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Abdel-Rahman's specific recommendations.

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 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 with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Carrefour Dentaire 440.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Abdel-Rahman at Carrefour Dentaire 440?

At your first appointment, Dr Abdel-Rahman and the team will get to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a detailed oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Abdel-Rahman will then explain their assessment and recommend any necessary treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some specialists accept patients directly, a referral from your general dentist, like Dr Abdel-Rahman, is often recommended or required by the specialist or your insurance plan. A referral ensures the specialist has the necessary background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr Abdel-Rahman feels you need specialist care, they will provide a referral for coordinated care. Check with the specialist's office or your insurance provider if unsure.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Abdel-Rahman will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

Cavity prevention involves consistent home care and regular professional check-ups with Dr Abdel-Rahman. This includes brushing twice daily for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing, limiting sugary foods and drinks, and attending routine dental exams and cleanings at Carrefour Dentaire 440. Dr Abdel-Rahman may also suggest dental sealants or fluoride applications, especially for children.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Abdel-Rahman typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Abdel-Rahman is your primary dental care provider, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and sometimes cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also provide oral hygiene education and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
