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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact HÔPITAL GÉNÉRAL DE MONTRÉAL directly to arrange their visit with Dr Taravati.

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, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Taravati 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 should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Taravati at HÔPITAL GÉNÉRAL DE MONTRÉAL?

At your initial appointment, Dr Taravati and the team at HÔPITAL GÉNÉRAL DE MONTRÉAL 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 Taravati 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 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 through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is strongly recommended that patients verify any potential public coverage they might be eligible for and always check the details of their private dental insurance before starting treatment at HÔPITAL GÉNÉRAL DE MONTRÉAL.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Taravati will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). It is important to follow Dr Taravati's specific recommendation.
