At CENTRE DENTAIRE KINH HUNG HUYNH INC., 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 Huynh frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem, Dr Huynh's approach is focused on delivering receiving a definitive diagnosis for an unusual growth or spot in their mouth, leading to appropriate action. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health with a healthier smile.
• When a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to feeling good about their overall appearance and the positive first impression their smile makes, Dr Huynh and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development and a return to comfort and confidence.
• Overcoming or effectively managing a desire to ensure their current oral hygiene routine at home was truly effective and optimal is a common journey for patients under Dr Huynh's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues, so that daily routines and pleasures like experiencing the simple joy of a pain-free mouth every day become straightforward again.
• The journey from needing a substantial amount of dental work done and feeling quite overwhelmed by the prospect to wellness often involves Dr Huynh's dedicated care. The milestone is their child's toothache being resolved, and the tooth saved with appropriate treatment, which opens the door back to activities such as their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.

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

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for optimal preventative care. However, Dr Huynh will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors (like cavities or gum disease), and any existing conditions. Some patients might require more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is crucial to follow Dr Huynh's specific recommendations for your unique situation.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CENTRE DENTAIRE KINH HUNG HUYNH INC. directly to arrange their visit with Dr Huynh.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Huynh at CENTRE DENTAIRE KINH HUNG HUYNH INC.?

At your initial appointment, Dr Huynh and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE KINH HUNG HUYNH INC. 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 Huynh 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 always used. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Huynh will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the ALARA principle (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. Some limited dental surgeries done in a hospital setting may be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (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's essential to verify any potential public coverage you might qualify for and to review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE KINH HUNG HUYNH INC.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Huynh is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. 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, initial management of gum disease, and may offer cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.
