At Clinique dentaire Boisé de la Marconi, 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 Ajdid frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Understanding the frustration a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them can cause, Dr Ajdid tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their jaw no longer clicking or popping painfully, and jaw movement feeling smoother, allowing for renewed participation in activities like singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.
• Through Dr Ajdid's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly often find they can readily achieve their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness.
• When their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Ajdid helps patients strive for experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism). This makes participating in activities such as being able to focus on their passions and pursuits without the constant background noise of dental issues a pleasant and possible experience again.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about at Dr Ajdid's practice is consistently achieving their smile looking noticeably brighter and whiter after professional whitening treatment. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their child participating happily in school photos and social activities.

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

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Ajdid for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Clinique dentaire Boisé de la Marconi.

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 the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (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 by RAMQ. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Clinique dentaire Boisé de la Marconi.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Ajdid at Clinique dentaire Boisé de la Marconi?

Your first visit with Dr Ajdid will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr Ajdid will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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 to further minimize any potential exposure. 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 Ajdid 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Ajdid will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). It's essential to follow Dr Ajdid's specific recommendations.
