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 taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Chênevert 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Chênevert at CENTRE HOSPITALIER PAUL-GILBERT?

At your initial appointment, Dr Chênevert and the team at CENTRE HOSPITALIER PAUL-GILBERT 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 Chênevert will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Chênevert will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) 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). Following Dr Chênevert's specific recommendation is crucial for optimal oral health.

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 (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CENTRE HOSPITALIER PAUL-GILBERT.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Contact CENTRE HOSPITALIER PAUL-GILBERT directly to arrange your visit with Dr Chênevert.
