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 to further minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan more complex treatments. Dr Srouji 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 Srouji typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Srouji 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, 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. They also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer to specialists when more complex needs arise.

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

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

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Srouji 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 (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's essential to follow Dr Srouji's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Srouji at CENTRE DE SANTÉ BUCCODENTAIRE BOCARMONIE?

At your initial appointment, Dr Srouji and the team at CENTRE DE SANTÉ BUCCODENTAIRE BOCARMONIE will focus on getting to know you and your oral health.

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 the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (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 usually paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). 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 CENTRE DE SANTÉ BUCCODENTAIRE BOCARMONIE.
