• When wondering if their child would likely need orthodontic treatment in the future based on their current dental development begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Tran helps patients strive for experiencing a significant reduction in jaw pain and morning headaches after treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism). This makes participating in activities such as actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern a pleasant and possible experience again.

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 Tran 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).

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 Clinique JT Maxillo - Dr Pham et Dre Tran.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Tran at Clinique JT Maxillo - Dr Pham et Dre Tran?

At your initial appointment, Dr Tran and the team 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, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Tran will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Tran 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 if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr Tran's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, no referral is needed. Patients can contact Clinique JT Maxillo - Dr Pham et Dre Tran directly.
