At Clinique dentaire Baie-des-Chaleurs, 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 Brouillard frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:
- The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities, involves working systematically towards the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence. Dr Brouillard expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine.
- Effectively addressing a specific tooth being noticeably sensitive to pressure or discomfort when they chewed or bit down on food with Dr Brouillard's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their persistent bad breath being eliminated after addressing the underlying dental cause, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in their overall facial aesthetics being enhanced by well-planned dental and/or facial esthetic treatments and social interactions.
- With Dr Brouillard's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing their partner mentioning that they snored very loudly or seemed to stop breathing momentarily during sleep (a possible sign of sleep apnea requiring a dental appliance referral) is focused on achieving their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to simply relaxing and not having dental pain or problems on their mind constantly without dental concerns.
- Dr Brouillard expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their gums no longer bleeding during brushing, indicating healthier gum tissue, means they can happily and comfortably get back to attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped.

- 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 to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Brouillard 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).
- How often should I (or my child) visit Dr Brouillard for a check-up and cleaning?
- For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Brouillard will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients 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 Brouillard's specific recommendation.
- Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Brouillard?
- Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire Baie-des-Chaleurs directly to arrange their visit with Dr Brouillard.
- What services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Brouillard typically provide?
- A General Dentist like Dr Brouillard 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, 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, if offered). They also provide education on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
- 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. 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 crucial to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment at Clinique dentaire Baie-des-Chaleurs.
- What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Brouillard at Clinique dentaire Baie-des-Chaleurs?
- Your first visit will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of 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 Brouillard will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.
