• A key objective when treating a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal at Dr Perron's welcoming dental clinic is achieving their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Perron is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, 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). Dr Perron also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

In QC, 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 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health). Dr Perron determines the frequency based on individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Perron will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits for active gum disease or high caries risk). Follow Dr Perron's specific recommendation.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth. Good candidates generally have healthy gums, adequate jawbone density, and are in good general health. Dr Perron can perform a comprehensive assessment to evaluate your suitability. Dr Perron can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist if appropriate.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Perron at CENTRE DENTAIRE CHAMPLAIN?

Your first visit will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr Perron will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

Typically, no referral is needed. Contact CENTRE DENTAIRE CHAMPLAIN directly to arrange your visit with Dr Perron.
