Dr Hun frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients frequently come to Dr Hun with concerns about a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them.

• A frequent and rewarding goal for patients seeing Dr Hun about an old dental bridge that felt loose, uncomfortable, or was showing signs of wear and tear is to attain their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic. This success not only improves oral health but also paves the way for them to re-engage with activities like waking up feeling refreshed, without jaw soreness or tension from nighttime grinding.
• Through Dr Hun's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation often find they can readily achieve their broken amalgam filling being safely removed and replaced with a modern restoration and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like their child showing pride in their healthy smile and good brushing habits.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth, Dr Hun offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach the rough or sharp edge on their tooth being smoothed out, eliminating irritation. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped.

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 always used. 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 Hun 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).

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

A General Dentist like Dr Hun is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: 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 management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). Dr Hun also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In QC, 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

Dr Hun will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Hun for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR HANI GHOSSOUB ET DR MARC-ANTOINE TABET.

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