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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Landry will personalize your schedule based on individual needs, risk factors (like cavities or gum disease), and existing conditions. Some patients might need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr Landry's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Landry at Centre dentaire Cartierville?

At your initial appointment, Dr Landry and the team at Centre dentaire Cartierville 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 Landry 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 always used. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Landry 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).

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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children). Always check your private insurance coverage details and verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for before treatment at Centre dentaire Cartierville.

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

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