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

Dr Leroux 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.

Does CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE SYLVIE LEROUX INC. offer direct billing to dental insurance companies (assignment of benefits)?

You can then easily submit these to your dental insurance provider for prompt reimbursement according to your policy terms and coverage. Our administrative team is happy to assist you with understanding the forms if needed.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Leroux at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE SYLVIE LEROUX INC.?

Your first visit with Dr Leroux 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 Leroux 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 QC, provincial health plans (like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (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, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and always check your private dental insurance details before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE SYLVIE LEROUX INC..

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. Dr Leroux will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Follow Dr Leroux's specific recommendation.

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 taken only when diagnostically necessary. Dr Leroux 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 services does a General Dentist (Dentiste) like Dr Leroux typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr Leroux is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Leroux for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE DRE SYLVIE LEROUX INC..
