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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings every six months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr. Boudreault will personalize your schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors (like cavities or gum disease), and any existing dental conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months for those managing gum disease or at high risk for cavities), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. Always follow Dr. Boudreault's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

What cosmetic dentistry options might Dr Boudreault offer to improve the appearance of my smile?

Dr Boudreault focuses on comprehensive general dentistry for overall oral health. While many restorative procedures also have excellent aesthetic outcomes, if you have specific advanced cosmetic concerns, they can discuss basic aesthetic improvements available or provide a referral to a dentist specializing in cosmetic procedures or a prosthodontist if more advanced treatment is desired.

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 done in private dental clinics for the general population. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance (often from employers), or via government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families with children, seniors on specific benefits). Always check your private insurance details and verify any potential public coverage you may qualify for before treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE JOBIN ET BOUDREAULT INC.

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

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

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are always used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr. Boudreault will determine how often X-rays are needed based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

A General Dentist like Dr. Boudreault is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages. They offer a wide range of services: 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 may offer some cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.
