• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Reich about their child having a severe toothache that kept them up at night and required immediate attention is to attain a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.
• For patients where concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history is a primary concern, Dr Reich focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully travelling and trying new cuisines without fear of unexpected dental emergencies.
• Through Dr Reich's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling often find they can readily achieve their dentures no longer causing sore spots, allowing them to eat and speak with ease and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their child actively participating in preventative dental care and understanding its importance.
• For individuals troubled by needing urgent treatment for an infected or abscessed tooth to avoid losing it and to relieve severe pain, Dr Reich's approach is focused on delivering feeling significantly more relaxed and calm during dental visits due to effective anxiety management strategies or sedation. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation with a healthier smile.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Reich, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

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), 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 regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at BEACONSFIELD DENTISTRY.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Reich at BEACONSFIELD DENTISTRY?

At your initial appointment, Dr Reich and the team at BEACONSFIELD DENTISTRY 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 Reich will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Reich 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 Reich for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Reich will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some 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). It's important to follow Dr Reich's specific recommendation.

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

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