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

A General Dentist like Dr Hguig is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care such as check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and sealants. Restorative treatments encompass fillings, crowns, and bridges. Dr Hguig also provides basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, and initial management of gum disease. Cosmetic procedures, like whitening or bonding, may also be offered. Furthermore, Dr Hguig educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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, 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). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to check the details of your private dental insurance before treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR HICHAM HGUIG ET ASSOCIÉS.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Hguig will personalize your schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors (like cavities or gum disease), and any existing conditions. Some patients might need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months for active gum disease), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Hguig's specific recommendations.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Hguig for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR HICHAM HGUIG ET ASSOCIÉS.

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 used. X-rays are taken only when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Hguig will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Hguig at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR HICHAM HGUIG ET ASSOCIÉS?

Your first visit will involve completing a medical history form and discussing your dental concerns and goals with Dr Hguig. A thorough examination of your mouth will be performed, and digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Hguig will then explain their assessment and recommend any necessary treatments.
