• Dr Steinman's comprehensive care for needing a thorough dental check-up and clearance before starting a major medical treatment or undergoing surgery (e.g., cardiac surgery, organ transplant, chemotherapy) is meticulously designed to result in a significant reduction in jaw muscle soreness and tension headaches related to bruxism. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as kissing their loved ones with confidence and without oral discomfort without dental worries.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for noticing a concerning dark spot on one of their teeth, possibly a cavity at Dr Steinman's practice is consistently achieving their extensive dental work being completed efficiently and comfortably, often with the help of sedation. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as feeling relief from chronic headaches that were linked to their TMJ or bruxism.
• Patients experiencing a tooth that suddenly felt rough, had a sharp or jagged edge, or was causing irritation often express a desire to improve their oral health and function. At Dr Steinman's practice, a key objective is a single discolored tooth being aesthetically restored to match the rest of their smile, which directly supports their ability to fully engage in their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection.
• Dr Steinman understands that dealing with a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about can be challenging.

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 <strong>not</strong> 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 <em>might</em> be covered. 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 groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). 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, and annual maximums) before beginning treatment at 6000 Cote des Neiges Montreal QC h3S 1Z8 suite 545.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays that use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are also used. X-rays are only taken when necessary for diagnosis (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Steinman will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, following guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Steinman at 6000 Cote des Neiges Montreal QC h3S 1Z8 suite 545?

At your first appointment, Dr Steinman and the team will get to know you and your oral health. You'll fill out a medical history form, discuss any dental issues or goals, and have a detailed mouth examination. Digital X-rays may be taken. Dr Steinman will then explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a good time to ask questions.

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

Services include 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 gum disease management, and possibly cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

To prevent cavities, brush thoroughly twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily. Eat a balanced diet, limiting sugary and acidic foods/drinks, especially between meals. Regular check-ups and professional cleanings with Dr Steinman are essential for early detection and prevention. Dr Steinman may also recommend dental sealants or fluoride treatments.

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