• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Bradet to see patients who were troubled by their child feeling particularly anxious or fearful about an upcoming dental filling or procedure successfully achieve their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a healthy, well-maintained mouth.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are a very safe diagnostic tool, especially with modern digital X-rays that 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 Bradet 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).

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 RAMQ typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some 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 through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE DES LAURENTIDES INC.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Bradet 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 more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others may have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Bradet's specific recommendations.

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

They offer a wide range of services, including 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, and initial management of gum disease. They may also offer cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding) and provide education on oral hygiene. For more complex needs, Dr Bradet will refer patients to specialists.
