At ÉRIC BRETON DENTISTE, 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 Boulanger frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients experiencing a dental problem that was causing significant difficulty or pain when they tried to eat certain types of foods often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Boulanger's practice, a key objective is their tooth's extreme sensitivity to cold being resolved after identifying and treating the cause, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain.
• Many people seek Dr Boulanger's professional help and expertise when dealing with experiencing a persistently dry mouth (xerostomia) feeling, making it uncomfortable to speak or swallow. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently achieving the beautiful, confident smile they had always desired through cosmetic dentistry, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection.
• Effectively addressing their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli with Dr Boulanger's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in smiling confidently in photos and social situations without any self-consciousness and social interactions.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Boulanger to see patients who were troubled by an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options successfully achieve their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like feeling that their smile truly reflects their personality and inner confidence..

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Boulanger, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Boulanger is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). Dr Boulanger also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers 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 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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Boulanger at ÉRIC BRETON DENTISTE?

Your first visit will 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 Boulanger will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

Cavity prevention relies on consistent home care and regular professional support. This includes brushing for two minutes twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing, minimizing sugary snacks and beverages, and attending routine dental exams and cleanings. Dr Boulanger might suggest dental sealants or in-office fluoride applications.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Boulanger for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with ÉRIC BRETON DENTISTE.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Boulanger will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr Boulanger's specific recommendation.
