What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Renaud at CENTRE DENTAIRE GAUDREAULT MARQUIS INC?

At your initial appointment, Dr Renaud and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE GAUDREAULT MARQUIS INC 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 you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Renaud will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (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 by RAMQ. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Government assistance programs may also cover dental care for eligible groups, such as children from low-income families or seniors on specific benefits. It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE GAUDREAULT MARQUIS INC.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Renaud for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CENTRE DENTAIRE GAUDREAULT MARQUIS INC.

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Renaud 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Renaud will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., 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 between visits. It is important to follow Dr Renaud's specific recommendations.
