At Université McGill Faculté de médecine dentaire et des sciences de la santé orale, 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 Nguyen frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Nguyen's comprehensive care for an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing is meticulously designed to result in their gums appearing consistently healthy, pink, and firm, without any signs of puffiness or inflammation. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums without dental worries.
• If experiencing significant gum bleeding every time they flossed, indicating possible gingivitis or early gum disease is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Nguyen develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at receiving a definitive diagnosis for an unusual growth or spot in their mouth, leading to appropriate action. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation.
• For those affected by their teeth appearing noticeably longer than before, often a sign of progressive gum recession, Dr Nguyen provides solutions that lead to having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities. This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to easily maintaining their daily oral hygiene routine without experiencing bleeding or pain.
• Understanding the frustration a tooth getting accidentally knocked out or avulsed during a sports game or accident can cause, Dr Nguyen tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve their teeth and gums feeling exceptionally clean and healthy after a necessary deep cleaning procedure, allowing for renewed participation in activities like feeling good about their overall appearance and the positive first impression their smile makes.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Nguyen, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Nguyen is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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 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 the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at Université McGill Faculté de médecine dentaire et des sciences de la santé orale.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Nguyen is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. They also educate patients on proper oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Nguyen at Université McGill Faculté de médecine dentaire et des sciences de la santé orale?

At your initial appointment, Dr Nguyen and the team 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, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken. Based on this, Dr Nguyen will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

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

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. 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 Nguyen will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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 Université McGill Faculté de médecine dentaire et des sciences de la santé orale directly to arrange a visit with Dr Nguyen.
