At Clinique dentaire Coteau Santé inc., 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 Pham frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If wanting to know if professional teeth whitening procedures would be safe and effective for their specific situation is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr Pham develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their partner reporting less snoring or cessation of breathing pauses during sleep after starting treatment with a dental sleep apnea appliance (facilitated by their dentist). This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort.
• Dr Pham expertly assists individuals in navigating the complexities of feeling like their jaw was often stiff, sore, or difficult to move freely, especially upon waking in the morning. A successful and well-managed treatment outcome, exemplified by their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics, means they can happily and comfortably get back to their child looking forward to dental visits rather than fearing them.
• Dr Pham provides dedicated support for patients going through their gums appearing red, swollen, or inflamed in certain areas of their mouth, always aiming for positive outcomes like their child stopping their thumb-sucking habit with supportive guidance, protecting their dental development, so they can comfortably and happily return to a full range of activities such as singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.
• Dr Pham understands that dealing with a dental problem or discomfort that they had been avoiding or putting off addressing for far too long can be challenging. That's why their treatment plans are geared towards achieving an impacted tooth being successfully managed or removed, preventing future pain, infection, or damage to other teeth, helping patients comfortably get back to concentrating fully on their work or studies without the distraction of dental discomfort and feeling their best.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Pham, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives.

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr Pham offer any sedation options?

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 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 Pham 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 Pham at Clinique dentaire Coteau Santé inc.?

At your initial appointment, Dr Pham and the team at Clinique dentaire Coteau Santé inc. will focus on getting to know you and your oral health. Expect to fill out a medical history form, have a discussion about any dental issues or goals you have, followed by a detailed examination of your mouth. Digital X-rays may be taken to get a complete picture. Based on this, Dr Pham will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

For most patients, check-ups and cleanings every 6 months are recommended for preventative care. However, Dr Pham will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). It is important to follow Dr Pham's specific recommendation.

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). It is important 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 Coteau Santé inc..

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

A General Dentist like Dr Pham 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). 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 Pham?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire Coteau Santé inc. directly to arrange their visit with Dr Pham.
