At Passion Sourire Clinique dentaire pour petits et grands, 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 Awad frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• For individuals troubled by their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development, Dr Awad's approach is focused on delivering their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like feeling good about their overall appearance and the positive first impression their smile makes with a healthier smile.
• When a persistent and unexplained bad taste in their mouth, even after brushing begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Awad helps patients strive for a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment. This makes participating in activities such as showing off their beautifully whitened teeth at a special occasion like a wedding or reunion a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Patients presenting with persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their child overcoming dental anxiety and successfully completing needed dental treatment under Dr Awad's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain without the former limitations or discomfort.
• The journey from a strong desire to improve the overall aesthetic appearance of their smile to wellness often involves Dr Awad's dedicated care. The milestone is clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns, which opens the door back to activities such as their child understanding the importance of regular dental check-ups for a lifetime of health.

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

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 exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Awad 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 Awad at Passion Sourire Clinique dentaire pour petits et grands?

Your first visit with Dr Awad 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 Awad 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.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Awad offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr Awad focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Awad 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 if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer 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). Always check the details of your private dental insurance and verify any potential public coverage before treatment.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Awad for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Passion Sourire Clinique dentaire pour petits et grands.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Awad will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits, while others may have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr Awad's specific recommendation.
