• Lost Filling or Crown: Addressing situations where a dental filling or crown has become dislodged or fallen out, requiring temporary or permanent replacement.
• Dental Abscess (Localized Infection): A pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection, often at the root of a tooth or in the gums, causing pain, swelling, and requiring drainage and/or antibiotic treatment.

Gum Disease Initial

• Mild to Moderate Periodontitis (Initial Management by GP): Addressing gum infections that have started to affect the supporting bone, with a focus on halting progression and maintaining teeth.
• Gingivitis (Early Gum Disease): Inflammation of the gums characterized by redness, swelling, and bleeding, often caused by plaque buildup; reversible with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene.

Preventative Oral Health Topics

• Concerns about Oral Hygiene Practices: Seeking advice on how to improve brushing, flossing, or overall oral hygiene techniques.
• Questions about Dental Products (Toothpaste, Mouthwash, etc.): Wanting to understand which dental products are best for their specific oral health needs or conditions.

Tooth Decay Cavities

• Dental Caries (Cavities / Tooth Decay): Restoring teeth affected by decay with appropriate filling materials to maintain oral health.
• Early Childhood Caries (ECC) / Baby Bottle Tooth Decay: Tooth decay in infants and young children, often affecting the upper front teeth, requiring early intervention and preventative strategies.

• Root Canal Treatment (Non-Surgical Endodontics - Uncomplicated Cases): Saving natural teeth from extraction by treating the inner pulp tissue, commonly for straightforward root canal procedures on teeth with predictable anatomy.
• Dental Bridges (Fixed Partial Dentures): Replacing one or more missing teeth with a fixed (non-removable) dental bridge, typically anchored to adjacent natural teeth (abutments) or dental implants, to restore chewing function, maintain tooth alignment, and improve smile aesthetics.
• Denture Adjustments, Repairs & Relines: Providing necessary adjustments, repairs (e.g., for cracks or broken teeth), and relines (to improve fit due to gum shrinkage) for existing dentures to enhance comfort, stability, and functionality.
• Tooth-Coloured Fillings (Composite Resin): Aesthetic and functional restoration of decayed, chipped, or fractured teeth using modern tooth-coloured filling materials.
• Surgical Extractions (Less Complex Cases - e.g., Sectioning, Erupted Wisdom Teeth): More involved tooth extractions that are beyond simple forceps removal, potentially including careful elevation of soft tissues for better visibility and access (for less complex surgical cases appropriate for a GP setting).

At CENTRE DENTAIRE DE BEAUCE, 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 Rancourt frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• At Dr Rancourt's clinic, addressing a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients means focusing on patient goals. Achieving their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations helps them get back to enjoying life, including being able to feeling refreshed and confident with consistently fresh breath throughout the day.
• It's always a professional highlight for Dr Rancourt to see patients who were troubled by their breath not feeling consistently fresh or clean even immediately after brushing and flossing successfully achieve finding a dental team that understands and effectively manages their dental nervousness. This directly translates to their ability to return to and enjoy important activities like no longer having to 'guard' a sensitive tooth when eating or drinking.
• When ongoing concerns about bad breath that they believed might be related to a hidden dental infection or persistent gum problem begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Rancourt helps patients strive for experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed. This makes participating in activities such as their dental implants feeling and functioning just like their natural teeth a pleasant and possible experience again.
• The journey from their jaw making clicking, popping, or grating sounds when they opened their mouth wide or chewed to wellness often involves Dr Rancourt's dedicated care. The milestone is the dark spot on their tooth being treated, preventing a larger cavity from forming, which opens the door back to activities such as easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.

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

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) typically do <strong>not</strong> 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 <em>might</em> 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). It is crucial to verify any potential public coverage you may be eligible for and to always check the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE DE BEAUCE.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Rancourt 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 need more frequent visits (e.g., 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 between visits. It is essential to follow Dr Rancourt's specific recommendations for your optimal oral health.

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

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

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Rancourt at CENTRE DENTAIRE DE BEAUCE?

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

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 (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Rancourt 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).
