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 limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting <em>might</em> be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often from employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Always verify your eligibility for public coverage and check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-pays, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Le Centre Dentaire Anjou.

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 necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Badri determines the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

For most, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. Dr Badri will personalize this schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (cavities, gum disease), and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits for active gum disease or high caries risk). Follow Dr Badri's specific recommendations.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr Badri offer any sedation options?

Dr Badri and the team at Le Centre Dentaire Anjou are committed to making your visit comfortable. While we may not offer in-house sedation, please discuss your anxiety with Dr Badri. They can explore comfort measures, relaxation techniques, and if needed, refer you to a specialist providing sedation services.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Badri typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Badri provides primary dental care for all ages. Services include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial gum disease management, and cosmetic procedures (if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

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

No, you generally don't need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Badri for check-ups, cleanings, or consultations. You can book directly with Le Centre Dentaire Anjou.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Badri at Le Centre Dentaire Anjou?
