• The journey from their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling to wellness often involves Dr El-Siblani's dedicated care.

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

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

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr El-Siblani?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire St-Charles directly to arrange their visit with Dr El-Siblani.

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Gums that bleed easily while brushing or flossing, appear red or puffy, or feel sore are common signs of gingivitis. Persistent bad taste or bad breath can also indicate a problem. More advanced gum disease (periodontitis) might involve gums pulling away from teeth, noticeable tooth mobility, or discomfort when chewing. Regular check-ups with Dr El-Siblani are crucial for early detection and treatment.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr El-Siblani typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr El-Siblani is your primary dental care provider, offering a wide range of services. These include 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 possibly cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists when needed.

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 in private clinics. Some limited dental surgeries in hospitals might be covered. Most dental care is paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often from employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Check your eligibility for public coverage and review your private insurance details before treatment.

Dr El-Siblani will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and follows guidelines to minimize radiation.
