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

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Sevy-Hassan will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months), while patients with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Sevy-Hassan's specific recommendations.

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 RAMQ typically do not cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics for the general population. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often employer-sponsored), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It's crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may qualify for and check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at LES DENTISTES DE LA PLACE VERTU.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Sevy-Hassan?

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Sevy-Hassan for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with LES DENTISTES DE LA PLACE VERTU.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Sevy-Hassan at LES DENTISTES DE LA PLACE VERTU?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history; thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including oral cancer screening); and necessary X-rays. Dr Sevy-Hassan will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often 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 using 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 Sevy-Hassan will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines.
