What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Beauchamp-Payment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE MAUDE BEAUCHAMP-PAYMENT?

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

For most adults, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Beauchamp-Payment will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. Following Dr Beauchamp-Payment's specific recommendation is key for maintaining optimal oral health.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Beauchamp-Payment typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Beauchamp-Payment is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide range of services, including preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding. General Dentists also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer patients 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 Quebec, most routine and major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics are not covered by the provincial health insurance plan (Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec, or RAMQ). Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. The majority of dental care costs are typically 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, or social assistance recipients). It is essential to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to review your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before beginning treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE MAUDE BEAUCHAMP-PAYMENT.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Beauchamp-Payment?

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Beauchamp-Payment for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE MAUDE BEAUCHAMP-PAYMENT.

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

Modern digital dental X-rays are very safe, using minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used to further minimize exposure. X-rays are only taken when clinically necessary, such as for new patients, to detect cavities between teeth, assess bone health, or to plan more complex treatments. Dr Beauchamp-Payment will determine the appropriate frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to the principle of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) radiation exposure.
