The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently achieving their dream smile through a well-planned and executed smile makeover, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits.
• Patients presenting with a single tooth that had become noticeably darker in color than the adjacent teeth, possibly after trauma can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile under Dr Huynh's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures without the former limitations or discomfort.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire Le Thi Bich Thao directly to arrange their visit with Dr Huynh.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Huynh at Clinique dentaire Le Thi Bich Thao?

Your first visit with Dr Huynh 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 Huynh 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.

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Huynh will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) 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 health might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Huynh's specific recommendation is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Huynh 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, inlays, onlays), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. Dr Huynh also provides education on oral hygiene and will refer patients 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 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). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Clinique dentaire Le Thi Bich Thao.

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

Dr Huynh 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.

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 only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Huynh 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).
