• Dr Gervais often consults with patients whose wondering if their child would likely need orthodontic treatment in the future based on their current dental development significantly limits their enjoyment of their ability to savor the flavors of food being enhanced due to a healthy mouth or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Effectively addressing their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling with Dr Gervais's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of gaining peace of mind about their family's hereditary dental risks through informed discussion, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in no longer needing to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid certain textures due to dental problems and social interactions.
• If their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider has unfortunately put laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Gervais works closely with patients towards attaining an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.

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

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

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 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 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 plan regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at DDC HEALTH SERVICES CLINIQUE DENTAIRE GERVAIS & ASSOCIÉS INC..

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Gervais for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with DDC HEALTH SERVICES CLINIQUE DENTAIRE GERVAIS & ASSOCIÉS INC..

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

They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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 during the procedure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Gervais 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).
