At CENTRE DENTAIRE AHUNTSIC, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr Trudeau frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Trudeau to see patients who were troubled by persistent bad breath (halitosis) that didn't seem to improve despite good hygiene successfully achieve their problematic wisdom tooth being removed, alleviating pain and preventing future issues. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like their child being able_to focus on learning and playing without the interruption of dental pain.

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

Generally, for preventative care, most patients benefit from check-ups and cleanings every 6 months. However, Dr Trudeau will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients managing active gum disease or at high caries risk may need visits every 3-4 months, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Trudeau's specific recommendation is crucial for optimal oral health.

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 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 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 strongly recommended that you verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE AHUNTSIC.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Trudeau at CENTRE DENTAIRE AHUNTSIC?

At your initial appointment, Dr Trudeau and the team at CENTRE DENTAIRE AHUNTSIC will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Trudeau will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Trudeau 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).

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Trudeau for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CENTRE DENTAIRE AHUNTSIC.
