At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE RIVIÈRE-DES-PRAIRIES, 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 Raji frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Effectively addressing a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming with Dr Raji's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile and social interactions.
• Managing their teeth feeling overly sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Raji and the dental team. The clear aim is always transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• When an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Raji helps patients strive for their gums looking pink and healthy again after treatment for gingivitis or early gum disease. This makes participating in activities such as actively engaging in conversations without being preoccupied by a dental concern a pleasant and possible experience again.
• For patients where having chipped a tooth unexpectedly while eating something hard is a primary concern, Dr Raji focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in gaining a clear understanding of their child's orthodontic needs and the available treatment options. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Raji, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Raji is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

Cavity prevention relies on consistent home care and regular professional support from Dr Raji. This includes brushing for two minutes twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing to clean between teeth, minimizing consumption of sugary snacks and beverages, and attending routine dental exams and cleanings at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE RIVIÈRE-DES-PRAIRIES. For extra defense, especially in children, Dr Raji might suggest dental sealants or in-office fluoride applications.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Raji at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE RIVIÈRE-DES-PRAIRIES?

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

For most adults, check-ups and cleanings every six months are generally recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Raji 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, some patients may 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 Raji's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

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 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). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE RIVIÈRE-DES-PRAIRIES.

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 used to further minimize 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 Raji 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).

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

A General Dentist like Dr Raji 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, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may offer cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Raji for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE RIVIÈRE-DES-PRAIRIES.

What is CLINIQUE DENTAIRE RIVIÈRE-DES-PRAIRIES's policy regarding missed appointments or late cancellations?
