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

A General Dentist like Dr Brax 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, dentures), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and may also offer cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or bonding. Dr Brax also provides education on oral hygiene and refers patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Brax will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., 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 between appointments. It is crucial to follow Dr Brax's specific recommendations.

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 for the general population. Some specific, limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by RAMQ. Most dental care costs are usually paid out-of-pocket by patients, or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential to verify your eligibility for any potential public coverage and to always check the details of your private dental insurance policy before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE RANA GHANEM.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

Cavity prevention involves consistent home care and regular professional check-ups with Dr Brax. This includes brushing your teeth for two minutes twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily to clean between your teeth, minimizing sugary snacks and drinks, and attending routine dental exams and cleanings at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE RANA GHANEM. Dr Brax may also suggest dental sealants or fluoride applications for extra protection, especially for children.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Brax at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE RANA GHANEM?

Your first visit will include a comprehensive dental examination. This involves reviewing your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr Brax will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning is often performed during this visit or scheduled for a subsequent appointment.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, particularly modern digital X-rays which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Brax will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

No, a referral is typically not needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. You can contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE RANA GHANEM directly to arrange your visit with Dr Brax.
