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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Moghadam 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 others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Moghadam's specific recommendations.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Moghadam will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Moghadam for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Université McGill - Fac. méd.dent..

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 in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at Université McGill - Fac. méd.dent..

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Moghadam at Université McGill - Fac. méd.dent.?

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form, discussing your dental concerns and goals with Dr Moghadam, and undergoing a thorough oral examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Moghadam will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a good opportunity to ask questions.
