• Effectively addressing needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) with Dr Nguyen's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their toothache being completely resolved, allowing them to eat and sleep comfortably again, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in feeling great about their smile in photographs and videos and social interactions.
• Dr Nguyen often consults with patients whose experiencing significant fear or deep-seated anxiety about upcoming dental visits significantly limits their enjoyment of laughing openly and heartily without worrying about the appearance of their teeth or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Overcoming or effectively managing experiencing diffuse facial pain or muscle tenderness that they suspected might be related to their jaw joint or bite is a common journey for patients under Dr Nguyen's care. The treatment philosophy centers on enabling their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again, so that daily routines and pleasures like feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations become straightforward again.
• Through Dr Nguyen's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a wish to improve the aesthetics of their smile for an upcoming special life event, such as a wedding or graduation often find they can readily achieve finally addressing a long-standing dental problem, leading to improved oral health and comfort and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like delivering important presentations or public speeches with clarity and self-assurance.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Nguyen at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DE MORTAGNE?

Your first visit with Dr Nguyen 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 Nguyen 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 <strong>not</strong> 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 <em>might</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DE MORTAGNE.

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 minimize exposure further. 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 Nguyen 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 Nguyen for a check-up and cleaning?

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Nguyen will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need visits every 3-4 months, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). It is essential to follow Dr Nguyen's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients can contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DE MORTAGNE directly to arrange a visit with Dr Nguyen.
