At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CÔTE-DE-BEAUPRÉ, 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 Carrier frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr Carrier understands that dealing with experiencing a dull, persistent ache in their jaw joint area that sometimes radiated towards their ear or temple can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development, helping patients comfortably get back to playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort and feeling their best.
• For individuals troubled by concerns about potential hereditary dental problems or conditions present in their family history, Dr Carrier's approach is focused on delivering a suspicious white or red patch in their mouth being diagnosed early, leading to effective management. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations with a healthier smile.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed with Dr Carrier's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to their child receiving necessary specialized dental care thanks to a timely referral and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation once more.

This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their child being able to participate in classroom activities without dental distractions.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CÔTE-DE-BEAUPRÉ directly to arrange their visit with Dr Carrier.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Carrier 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 Carrier also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Carrier at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CÔTE-DE-BEAUPRÉ?

At your initial appointment, Dr Carrier and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CÔTE-DE-BEAUPRÉ 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 Carrier will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE CÔTE-DE-BEAUPRÉ.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for preventative care. Dr Carrier will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., more frequent visits may be needed for those managing gum disease or at high caries risk). Follow Dr Carrier's specific recommendation.

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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Carrier will determine the frequency based on your individual needs, adhering to ALARA guidelines.
