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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Kadiri 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 QC, 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at Clinique Dentaire ArteDent (Dr. El Kadiri).

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

For most patients, every 6 months is generally recommended for preventative care. Dr Kadiri will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months). Follow Dr Kadiri's specific recommendation.

What are dental implants, and how do I know if I'm a suitable candidate?

Dental implants are small, medical-grade titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for fixed (crowns, bridges) or removable replacement teeth (dentures). Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate jawbone density. Dr Kadiri can perform a comprehensive assessment to evaluate your suitability. Dr Kadiri can discuss implants as an option and refer you to an implant specialist if appropriate.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Kadiri for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Clinique Dentaire ArteDent (Dr. El Kadiri).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Kadiri at Clinique Dentaire ArteDent (Dr. El Kadiri)?

Your first visit will typically 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 Kadiri will discuss findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Kadiri is the primary dental care provider, offering 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 more complex needs.
