• Dr Nader understands that dealing with a canker sore (aphthous ulcer) that was unusually large, very painful, or taking a long time to heal can be challenging.

• Managing a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Nader and the dental team. The clear aim is always their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying their child participating happily in school photos and social activities and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• When experiencing sharp or lingering pain when they bit down or chewed on a specific tooth starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to no longer needing to take frequent pain medication for dental issues, Dr Nader and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care and a return to comfort and confidence.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Nader for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with HÔPITAL GÉNÉRAL DE MONTRÉAL.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Nader at HÔPITAL GÉNÉRAL DE MONTRÉAL?

Your first visit with Dr Nader 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 Nader 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.

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 for the general population. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by RAMQ. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers). Government assistance programs may cover dental care for eligible groups such as children from low-income families or seniors on specific benefits. It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and always check the details of your private dental insurance (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums) before starting treatment at HÔPITAL GÉNÉRAL DE MONTRÉAL.

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Nader 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Nader 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. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr Nader's specific recommendations.
