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 the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) generally do not cover routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting may be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It is crucial to verify your eligibility for any public coverage and to check your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before treatment at Santé Dentaire Lanaudière.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr D.-Levesque at Santé Dentaire Lanaudière?

Your first visit with Dr D.-Levesque 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 D.-Levesque 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.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr D.-Levesque will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may require more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months), while others may have longer intervals. Following Dr D.-Levesque's specific recommendation is essential.

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. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr D.-Levesque will determine the frequency based on your individual needs and dental history, adhering to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles.
