Frequently Asked Questions about Dentiste with Dr Ménard in Granby
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr Ménard for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Ménard 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 might need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr Ménard's specific recommendation for your 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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Ménard 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).
- 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 important 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 Dentisterie Hanok/360.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Ménard at Dentisterie Hanok/360?
- At your initial appointment, Dr Ménard and the team at Dentisterie Hanok/360 will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. You will fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and undergo a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Ménard will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great opportunity to ask questions.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Ménard?
- No, a referral is typically not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You are welcome to contact Dentisterie Hanok/360 directly to arrange your visit with Dr Ménard.
