• When a persistent toothache that just wouldn't quit for them starts to interfere with daily life, such as affecting their ability to easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums, Dr Raymond and the team work collaboratively with patients. Success is marked by their child having fewer cavities due to improved dietary habits and hygiene practices taught at the clinic and a return to comfort and confidence.
• For patients where feeling like food consistently and annoyingly got stuck between certain teeth after meals is a primary concern, Dr Raymond focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in a significant reduction in jaw muscle soreness and tension headaches related to bruxism. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully feeling confident that their oral health is positively contributing to their systemic health.

This renewed health and confidence often translates to a joyful return to singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.
• Dr Raymond often consults with patients whose a persistent sore spot, ulcer, or unusual lesion in their mouth that hadn't healed on its own significantly limits their enjoyment of their gums feeling healthy and looking good, contributing to overall oral wellness or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.

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 always used to minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, for example, for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr Raymond 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 Raymond at Centre de Santé dentaire Tammy Raymond?

Your first visit with Dr Raymond 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 Raymond 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.

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

A General Dentist like Dr Raymond 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). Dr Raymond also educates patients on oral hygiene and refers to specialists for more complex needs.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Centre de Santé dentaire Tammy Raymond directly to arrange their visit with Dr Raymond.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Raymond will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions. Some patients may need visits every 3-4 months, while others might have slightly longer intervals. Following Dr Raymond's specific recommendation is crucial.

What are the common signs of gum disease I should watch out for?

Common signs of gum disease include gums that bleed easily during oral hygiene, appear red or puffy, or feel sore (gingivitis). Persistent bad taste or bad breath can also be a sign. More advanced gum disease (periodontitis) may involve gums pulling away from teeth, noticeable tooth mobility, or discomfort when chewing. Regular dental check-ups with Dr Raymond are crucial for early detection and effective treatment.

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 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). Always verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
