At Clinique dentaire Place Viau, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr Rotman frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• 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 Rotman's approach is focused on delivering their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic. This often makes it possible for them to resume important activities like being able to eat in public restaurants without anxiety about their teeth or dentures with a healthier smile.
• When recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Rotman helps patients strive for a previously 'high' or uncomfortable dental filling being perfectly adjusted, restoring a comfortable and even bite. This makes participating in activities such as enjoying the sensation of a clean, healthy mouth after every meal and hygiene routine a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Understanding the frustration wanting to understand what was causing their teeth to appear worn down, shorter, or a bit translucent can cause, Dr Rotman tailors treatments to ensure patients achieve feeling confident that their gum health is being actively maintained, preventing future problems, allowing for renewed participation in activities like their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain.
• For patients where their gums bleeding a little almost every time they brushed or flossed is a primary concern, Dr Rotman focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully their child being free of dental infections that could affect their overall health and school attendance.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Rotman, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Rotman is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Rotman will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients might 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 Rotman's specific recommendations for optimal oral health.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Rotman at Clinique dentaire Place Viau?

Your first visit with Dr Rotman 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 Rotman will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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). 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 Place Viau.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire Place Viau directly to arrange their visit with Dr Rotman.

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 any potential 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 Rotman 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).
