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. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Lamontagne 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).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Lamontagne at Espace dentaire MD?

At your initial appointment, Dr Lamontagne and the team at Espace dentaire MD 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 Lamontagne 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 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). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of Espace dentaire MD's regular office hours?

For life-threatening emergencies (severe bleeding, difficulty breathing), go to the nearest hospital or call 911. For urgent, non-life-threatening issues (severe toothache, knocked-out tooth), call Espace dentaire MD at (450) 625-2030. The voicemail may provide instructions for emergency contact or direct you to an emergency dental service.

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

Dr Lamontagne 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.

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

Generally, every 6 months is recommended for preventative care. Dr Lamontagne will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions.

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

Typically, no referral is needed. Contact Espace dentaire MD directly.
