• Managing their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr Cymet and the dental team. The clear aim is always their infected tooth being successfully saved from extraction through root canal treatment, which directly helps patients get back to enjoying feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day and their daily routines without dental hindrance.
• For individuals troubled by a persistent white patch (leukoplakia) or red patch (erythroplakia) in their mouth or on their tongue that wouldn't go away and needed urgent assessment, Dr Cymet's approach is focused on delivering successfully replacing their missing tooth with a strong, natural-looking dental implant. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like resuming hobbies that require concentration, now free from dental pain with a healthier smile.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing an old silver amalgam filling looking dark, unsightly, or potentially failing, involves working systematically towards achieving their desired level of teeth whiteness safely and effectively under professional supervision. Dr Cymet expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped.

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

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

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

For most adults and children, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months for preventative care. However, Dr Cymet will recommend a personalized schedule based on 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 oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is crucial to follow Dr Cymet's specific recommendations.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Cymet 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 may also include cosmetic procedures like whitening or bonding. Dr Cymet also provides education on oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists for more complex dental 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 provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). It is essential 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 Dr. Cymet.

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, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Cymet 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 Cymet at Clinique dentaire Dr. Cymet?

At your initial appointment, Dr Cymet and the team at Clinique dentaire Dr. Cymet 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 Cymet will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.
