Tooth Decay Cavities

• Early Childhood Caries (ECC) / Baby Bottle Tooth Decay: Managing cavities in baby teeth to prevent pain, infection, and ensure proper development of permanent teeth.

Preventative Oral Health Topics

• Need for Routine Dental Check-up & Cleaning: Proactive engagement in preventative dentistry to avoid future dental issues.
• Questions about Dental Products (Toothpaste, Mouthwash, etc.): Seeking recommendations for suitable toothpaste, mouth Rinses, toothbrushes, or other oral hygiene aids.

Dental Pain Emergency

• Dental Trauma (e.g., Knocked-out or Dislodged Tooth - Emergency Care): Urgent assessment and treatment for injuries to teeth and supporting oral structures.

• Surgical Extractions (Less Complex Cases - e.g., Sectioning, Erupted Wisdom Teeth): More involved tooth extractions that are beyond simple forceps removal, potentially including careful elevation of soft tissues for better visibility and access (for less complex surgical cases appropriate for a GP setting).
• Consultation & Treatment Planning: Dedicated time to review diagnostic findings, explain recommended procedures, and collaboratively create a dental care strategy that meets your needs and goals.
• Dental Bridges (Fixed Partial Dentures): Replacing one or more missing teeth with a fixed (non-removable) dental bridge, typically anchored to adjacent natural teeth (abutments) or dental implants, to restore chewing function, maintain tooth alignment, and improve smile aesthetics.

At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DUONG ET VO INC., 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 Vo frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Many people seek Dr Vo's professional help and expertise when dealing with an old dental filling falling out or a crown feeling loose, unstable, or detaching. The mutually agreed upon, collaborative goal is consistently having a comfortable, stable, and functional full-mouth tooth replacement solution, like implant-supported dentures, allowing a confident and satisfying return to valued life activities like being able to simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly.
• For those affected by needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain, Dr Vo provides solutions that lead to their recurrent canker sores becoming less frequent or less severe with management strategies. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.
• When their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Vo helps patients strive for feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation. This makes participating in activities such as confidently using their new smile in professional networking or client interactions a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Patients frequently come to Dr Vo with concerns about concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Vo 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, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding. Dr Vo also educates patients on proper oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists when more complex care is needed.

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, such as for new patients, to check for cavities between teeth, assess bone health, or to plan more complex treatments. Dr Vo 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 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, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is essential to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to always check the details of your private dental insurance plan before treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DUONG ET VO INC.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Vo at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DUONG ET VO INC.?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes reviewing 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 Vo will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Vo 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 might need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Vo's specific recommendations.

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

No, a referral is not typically required to see a general dentist. You can contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DUONG ET VO INC. directly to schedule an appointment with Dr Vo.
