Dr Feigenbaum frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Patients frequently come to Dr Feigenbaum with concerns about their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider. By working together as a team, they typically aim for and achieve successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant, making a positive and lasting return to enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath not just possible, but highly feasible.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Feigenbaum to see patients who were troubled by concerns about how their bite felt when they chewed, or if their teeth were meeting correctly successfully achieve their lost filling or crown being promptly and durably replaced, protecting the tooth. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like replacing missing teeth and feeling whole again, with a complete and functional smile.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation at Dr Feigenbaum's practice is consistently achieving receiving a new, well-fitting set of dentures that dramatically improved their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as enjoying a corn on the cob or biting into a crisp apple without hesitation.
• Dr Feigenbaum understands that dealing with a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration, helping patients comfortably get back to attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped and feeling their best.

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 used to further minimize exposure. 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 Feigenbaum 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).

I experience jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Can Dr Feigenbaum help with TMJ/TMD issues?

Dr Feigenbaum can perform an initial assessment of your jaw pain and related symptoms. Depending on the findings and complexity, they may offer some conservative management advice or provide a referral to a dentist or specialist with advanced training in TMJ disorders if more specialized care is indicated.

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

Cavity prevention relies on consistent home care and regular professional support from Dr Feigenbaum. This includes brushing for two minutes twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing to clean between teeth, minimizing consumption of sugary snacks and beverages, and attending routine dental exams and cleanings at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR SAM FEIGENBAUM DR MARINA KRILOVA. For extra defense, especially in children, Dr Feigenbaum might suggest dental sealants or in-office fluoride applications.

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

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

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

Generally, every 6 months for most patients is recommended for preventative care. Dr Feigenbaum will recommend a personalized schedule based on 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). Follow Dr Feigenbaum's specific recommendation.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR SAM FEIGENBAUM DR MARINA KRILOVA directly to arrange their visit with Dr Feigenbaum.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Feigenbaum at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR SAM FEIGENBAUM DR MARINA KRILOVA?

At your initial appointment, Dr Feigenbaum and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR SAM FEIGENBAUM DR MARINA KRILOVA 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 Feigenbaum 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). Verify any potential public coverage and always check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DR SAM FEIGENBAUM DR MARINA KRILOVA.
