• The journey from a desire for professional advice on how to effectively stop their child's cavities from getting worse or prevent new ones from forming to wellness often involves Dr Yacoub's dedicated care. The milestone is receiving clear dental clearance before a major medical procedure, ensuring their overall health is prioritized, which opens the door back to activities such as feeling that their investment in cosmetic or restorative dentistry was truly worthwhile for their self-esteem.

The clear aim is always their child receiving necessary specialized dental care thanks to a timely referral, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying sleeping peacefully without the interruption of dental pain or discomfort from oral appliances and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• Numerous patients have successfully addressed a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own with Dr Yacoub's dedicated support and clinical expertise. This often leads directly to having a custom-fitted sports mouthguard to protect their smile during athletic activities and the restored ability to fully participate in and enjoy confidently eating sticky or chewy foods without fear of dislodging restorations or dentures once more.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Yacoub at CLINIQUE ORTHO CITÉ INC.?

At your initial appointment, Dr Yacoub and the team at CLINIQUE ORTHO CITÉ INC. 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 Yacoub will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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 Yacoub 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).

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 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 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 ORTHO CITÉ INC..

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Yacoub for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE ORTHO CITÉ INC..

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Yacoub will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Yacoub's specific recommendation is essential.
