• Many people seek Dr Phan's professional help and expertise when dealing with a need for a professional dental opinion on a growth, unusual spot, or texture change in their mouth that they discovered.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Phan at CENTRE DENTAIRE PÉDIATRIQUE & PROSTHODONTIQUE DE MONTRÉAL?

Your first visit with Dr Phan 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 Phan 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 the 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 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). Some government assistance programs may cover dental care for eligible groups (e.g., low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). Always verify your eligibility for any public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment at CENTRE DENTAIRE PÉDIATRIQUE & PROSTHODONTIQUE DE MONTRÉAL.

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 necessary (e.g., for new patients, to detect decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Phan will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr Phan 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), while others might have slightly longer intervals. Follow Dr Phan's specific recommendations.
