• Lost Filling or Crown: Addressing situations where a dental filling or crown has become dislodged or fallen out, requiring temporary or permanent replacement.

Common Dental Issues

Tooth Decay Cavities

• Early Childhood Caries (ECC) / Baby Bottle Tooth Decay: Managing cavities in baby teeth to prevent pain, infection, and ensure proper development of permanent teeth.

At HÔPITAL SAINTE-ANNE, 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 Jemaa frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If their current partial or full denture feeling very unstable, loose, or ill-fitting, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Jemaa develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their child receiving necessary specialized dental care thanks to a timely referral. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their children being able to enjoy treats in moderation without an excessive fear of immediate cavities due to good preventative care.
• Patients frequently come to Dr Jemaa with concerns about a noticeable gap between their front teeth that they had always wished to close. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment, making a positive and lasting return to maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions not just possible, but highly feasible.
• Through Dr Jemaa's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention often find they can readily achieve their child feeling positive and at ease during their regular dental visits and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like confidently taking on speaking roles or performances without concern for their dental appearance or speech clarity.
• Many patients schedule a consultation with Dr Jemaa when they first notice concerns about grinding their teeth so forcefully or frequently that their jaw muscles ached or they experienced morning headaches. Through personalized dental care, the goal is to achieve receiving clear dental clearance before a major medical procedure, ensuring their overall health is prioritized, enabling them to once again enjoy experiencing the relief of a resolved dental infection and the return to normal comfort without hesitation.

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

Do I need a referral from my general dentist to see a dental specialist (e.g., Orthodontist, Periodontist)?

While some dental specialists may accept patients directly, it is often recommended and sometimes required by the specialist or insurance plans to have a referral from a general dentist like Dr Jemaa. A referral ensures the specialist has relevant background information and that the visit is appropriate. If Dr Jemaa identifies a need for specialist care, they will provide a referral to ensure coordinated care. If unsure, check with the specific specialist's office or your insurance provider.

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). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Jemaa will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others may have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Jemaa's specific recommendations.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact HÔPITAL SAINTE-ANNE directly to arrange their visit with Dr Jemaa.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Jemaa at HÔPITAL SAINTE-ANNE?

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

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

A General Dentist like Dr Jemaa 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 (if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

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

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays using 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 Jemaa will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
