• For individuals troubled by needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy), Dr Boudreault's approach is focused on delivering feeling refreshed and clean after a thorough professional dental cleaning and check-up. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain with a healthier smile.
• At Dr Boudreault's clinic, addressing wanting to understand what was causing their teeth to appear worn down, shorter, or a bit translucent means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions.

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

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

Payment for services is generally expected at the time treatment is rendered.

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., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Dentisterie Lac-St-Charles.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr Boudreault help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr Boudreault can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Boudreault for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Dentisterie Lac-St-Charles.

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 necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Boudreault 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Boudreault at Dentisterie Lac-St-Charles?

At your first appointment, Dr Boudreault and the team will get to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Boudreault will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.
