• A key objective when treating their gums feeling generally puffy, looking a bit darker red than usual, or exhibiting other signs of inflammation at Dr Ouazzani's welcoming dental clinic is achieving gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile.

This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort.

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 <strong>not</strong> 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 <em>might</em> 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 crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Clinique dentaire Carrefour Laval.

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

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Ouazzani is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. Services include 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). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr Ouazzani offer any sedation options?

Dr Ouazzani and our team at Clinique dentaire Carrefour Laval are committed to making your dental experience as comfortable as possible. While we may not offer extensive sedation options in-house, please discuss any anxieties you have with Dr Ouazzani. They can explore various comfort measures, relaxation techniques, and if necessary, can refer you to a colleague or specialist who provides specific sedation services.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire Carrefour Laval directly to arrange their visit with Dr Ouazzani.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care. Dr Ouazzani will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for active gum disease or high caries risk). Follow Dr Ouazzani's specific recommendations.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Ouazzani at Clinique dentaire Carrefour Laval?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: 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 Ouazzani will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled.

Does Clinique dentaire Carrefour Laval offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

While we do not offer direct billing to insurance companies at this time (meaning payment in full is due at the time of service), we will provide you with all the necessary standardized dental claim forms and detailed official receipts. You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage.
