• Dr Gilbert understands that dealing with ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem can be challenging.

This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.

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 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 may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE EMILIE GILBERT.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Gilbert 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 cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding, if offered). They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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 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 Gilbert 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).

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Gilbert for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE EMILIE GILBERT.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Gilbert at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE EMILIE GILBERT?

At your initial appointment, Dr Gilbert and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE EMILIE GILBERT will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Gilbert will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Gilbert will recommend a personalized schedule based on your 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). It is important to follow Dr Gilbert's specific recommendation.
