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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Delisle will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need visits every 3-4 months, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr Delisle's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Delisle at Espace dentaire MD?

At your initial appointment, Dr Delisle and the team at Espace dentaire MD 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 Delisle 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 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, social assistance recipients). 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 Espace dentaire MD.

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. 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 Delisle 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).

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

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