Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered.

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). Dr Dain will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Dain will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs and risk factors. Some may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr Dain's specific recommendation.
