• Patients presenting with experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their concerns about chronic bad breath being fully addressed through identification and treatment of the underlying dental or oral cause under Dr Ait-Boudaoud's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations without the former limitations or discomfort.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Ait-Boudaoud at Clinique Dentaire Familiale St-Eustache?

Your first visit with Dr Ait-Boudaoud 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 Ait-Boudaoud 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.

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 any potential exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Ait-Boudaoud 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 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. 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). It is essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Clinique Dentaire Familiale St-Eustache.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Ait-Boudaoud?

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Ait-Boudaoud for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with Clinique Dentaire Familiale St-Eustache.

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

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