What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Roy at CABINET DENTAIRE LES MORDUES?

At your initial appointment, Dr Roy and the team at CABINET DENTAIRE LES MORDUES will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Roy will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 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 Roy 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 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. Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Roy will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Follow Dr Roy's specific recommendation.
