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 Bensaada 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 your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Bensaada at Dentisterie Iberville?

At your initial appointment, Dr Bensaada and the team will get to know you and your oral health. Expect a medical history form, a discussion about dental issues or goals, a detailed mouth examination, and possibly digital X-rays. Dr Bensaada will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Bensaada will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for active gum disease or high caries risk). Follow Dr Bensaada's specific recommendation.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Bensaada for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can book an appointment directly with Dentisterie Iberville.

Does Dentisterie Iberville offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?
