At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CHRISTOPHE COLOMB, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr Iorio frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Iorio develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at gaining clarity about their child's future orthodontic needs and the optimal timing for any potential treatment. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding.
• Understanding the frustration a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment can cause, Dr Iorio tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their chipped or broken tooth being beautifully restored to its natural shape and function, allowing for renewed participation in activities like no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems.
• If a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal is preventing you from fully enjoying their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits or causing discomfort, Dr Iorio offers expert dental solutions. The primary aim is to achieve their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again through comprehensive and personalized dental care.
• Overcoming or effectively managing their child being overdue for their regular dental visit and preventative care is a common journey for patients under Dr Iorio's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure, so that daily routines and pleasures like no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking become straightforward again.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Iorio, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Iorio is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Iorio 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).

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Iorio will recommend a personalized schedule based on 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 Iorio's specific recommendation.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Iorio at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CHRISTOPHE COLOMB?

Your first visit with Dr Iorio will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a 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 Iorio will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CHRISTOPHE COLOMB.
