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

A General Dentist like Dr Dahan is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including 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). Dr Dahan also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Dahan will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. It's crucial to follow Dr Dahan's specific recommendations.

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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Dahan will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact NM SOINS DENTAIRES SAINT-ANTOINE directly to arrange their visit with Dr Dahan.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Dahan at NM SOINS DENTAIRES SAINT-ANTOINE?

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

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 clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care is paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance, or government assistance programs for eligible groups. Check your eligibility for public coverage and your private dental insurance details before treatment.
