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

A General Dentist like Dr Dutil 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). Dr Dutil also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers 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 QC, 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE MARTIN DUTIL INC.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Dutil will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of CENTRE DENTAIRE MARTIN DUTIL INC's regular office hours?

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency (e.g., severe uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing due to facial swelling, significant facial trauma), go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911 immediately. For urgent dental issues that are not life-threatening but require prompt attention outside of CENTRE DENTAIRE MARTIN DUTIL INC’s hours (such as severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a dental abscess with moderate swelling, or a broken tooth causing sharp pain), please call our main office number at (514) 385-1567. Our voicemail message may provide instructions for emergency contact with Dr Dutil or another on-call dentist, or direct you to an emergency dental service available in the Montréal area.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Dutil at CENTRE DENTAIRE MARTIN DUTIL INC?

Your first visit with Dr Dutil 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 Dutil 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 Dutil for a check-up and cleaning?

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Dutil will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr Dutil's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, no referral is needed. Patients can contact CENTRE DENTAIRE MARTIN DUTIL INC directly.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

Dr Dutil might suggest dental sealants or in-office fluoride applications.
