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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Yaghoubi will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, individuals managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while those with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Yaghoubi's specific recommendation is crucial for optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Yaghoubi at Centre dentaire Touchette?

At your initial appointment, Dr Yaghoubi and the team at Centre dentaire Touchette will prioritize getting to know you and your oral health. You can expect to complete a medical history form, discuss any dental concerns or goals, and undergo a thorough examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken for a complete assessment. Following the examination, Dr Yaghoubi will explain their findings and recommend any necessary treatments. This is also an excellent opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

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

No, a referral is generally not needed to see a general dentist like Dr Yaghoubi for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can typically book an appointment directly with Centre dentaire Touchette.

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 such as RAMQ typically do not cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries conducted in hospital settings might be covered. The majority of dental care costs are usually paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or via government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It's important to check your eligibility for any public coverage and review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before beginning treatment at Centre dentaire Touchette.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, particularly modern digital X-rays that utilize minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary, such as for new patients, to detect decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Yaghoubi will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines such as ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
