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

A General Dentist like Dr Brousseau is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services. These include preventative care (check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, dental sealants), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays), basic endodontics (root canals on less complex teeth), simple extractions, initial management of gum disease (gingivitis and mild periodontitis), and may also offer cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or bonding. Dr Brousseau also provides valuable education on oral hygiene and will refer patients to specialists for more complex needs.

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. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered by RAMQ. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients, through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or through government assistance programs for eligible individuals and families (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 your private dental insurance details (coverage, co-payments, deductibles, annual maximums) before starting treatment at Centre Dentaire Nathalie Giguère.

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

Typically, no referral is needed to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients can contact Centre Dentaire Nathalie Giguère directly to arrange a visit with Dr Brousseau.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Brousseau at Centre Dentaire Nathalie Giguère?

Your first visit will include a comprehensive dental examination. This involves reviewing 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 Brousseau will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will often be performed during this visit or scheduled for a subsequent appointment.

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

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

Dr Brousseau and the team at Centre Dentaire Nathalie Giguère are committed to making your visit comfortable. While we may not offer extensive in-house sedation options, please discuss any anxieties with Dr Brousseau. They can explore comfort measures and relaxation techniques, and if necessary, can refer you to a specialist providing sedation services.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency outside of Centre Dentaire Nathalie Giguère's regular office hours?

For life-threatening emergencies (severe bleeding, difficulty breathing due to swelling, significant facial trauma), go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 911. For urgent, non-life-threatening issues (severe toothache, knocked-out tooth, dental abscess with moderate swelling, broken tooth causing sharp pain), call Centre Dentaire Nathalie Giguère at (450) 449-1235. Our voicemail may provide instructions for emergency contact or direct you to an emergency dental service.

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

Generally, check-ups and cleanings are recommended every 6 months for preventative care. However, Dr Brousseau will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months for active gum disease or high caries risk), while others may have slightly longer intervals.
