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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Dagenais will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (like cavities or gum disease), and any existing conditions. Some patients might need visits every 3-4 months (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr Dagenais's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Dagenais is your primary dental care provider, offering a wide range of services for all ages. This includes 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 may include cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). Dr Dagenais also provides valuable education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Dagenais at Centre de parodontie et d'implantologie de Québec?

At your first appointment, Dr Dagenais and the team will focus on understanding your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Dagenais will then explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. This is a great opportunity to ask questions.

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 detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Dagenais will determine the frequency, adhering to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable), based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history.

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 done in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in hospitals may be covered. Most dental care is paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often from employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your eligibility for any public coverage and check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, maximums) before treatment at Centre de parodontie et d'implantologie de Québec.

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 a general dentist like Dr Dagenais is often recommended or required by the specialist or your insurance. A referral ensures the specialist has the necessary background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr Dagenais determines you need a specialist, they will provide a referral for coordinated care. Check with the specialist's office or your insurance if unsure.

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

No, you don't need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Dagenais for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can book an appointment directly with Centre de parodontie et d'implantologie de Québec.
