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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact ORTHODONTIE RIVE NORD directly to arrange their visit with Dr Mandich.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Mandich is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding if offered). Dr Mandich also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Mandich at ORTHODONTIE RIVE NORD?

At your initial appointment, Dr Mandich and the team at ORTHODONTIE RIVE NORD 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 Mandich will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Mandich 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 visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr Mandich's specific recommendation.

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 Mandich 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).

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Common signs of gum disease include gums that bleed easily during oral hygiene, appear red or puffy, or feel sore (gingivitis). Persistent bad taste or bad breath can also be a sign. More advanced gum disease (periodontitis) may involve gums pulling away from teeth, noticeable tooth mobility, or discomfort when chewing. Regular dental check-ups with Dr Mandich are crucial for early detection and effective treatment.

What is ORTHODONTIE RIVE NORD's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. However, we kindly request at least 24 business hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr Mandich. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed without notification, may be subject to a $50 cancellation fee. We appreciate your cooperation.

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. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance. Check your eligibility for any potential public coverage and review your private dental insurance details before treatment.
