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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Florczak will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing dental conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if they're managing active gum disease or have a high risk of cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health may have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Always follow Dr Florczak's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Florczak at Clinique dentaire des Hautes-Laurentides?

Your first visit with Dr Florczak 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 Florczak 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.

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr Florczak help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr Florczak can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Florczak is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include some cosmetic procedures (like teeth whitening or bonding). They also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex dental needs.

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. 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., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Always verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Florczak will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines that prioritize minimizing radiation exposure (ALARA - As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
