At Clinique Dentaire Joliette, 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 Brousseau frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• 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 Brousseau 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 being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures a pleasant and possible experience again.
• If their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development has unfortunately put their dentures feeling so secure they almost forget they are wearing them on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Brousseau works closely with patients towards attaining a specific tooth no longer being sensitive to biting pressure, indicating successful treatment, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Patients experiencing a dental issue, such as misaligned or discolored teeth, that was significantly affecting their confidence to smile openly and interact socially often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Brousseau's practice, a key objective is clarity on their child's dental eruption sequence and any potential developmental concerns, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort.
• When patients discuss concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history, Dr Brousseau outlines a path to finally addressing a long-standing dental problem, leading to improved oral health and comfort, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique Dentaire Joliette directly to arrange their visit with Dr Brousseau.

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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Brousseau 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 may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between visits. Following Dr Brousseau's specific recommendation is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health.

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 to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Brousseau will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the principle of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Brousseau at Clinique Dentaire Joliette?

Your first visit with Dr Brousseau 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 Brousseau 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.

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. 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 through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (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 Clinique Dentaire Joliette.
