At CLINIQUE DENTAIRE JEAN-MICHEL NADEAU, 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 Auger frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing their child's prolonged thumb-sucking habit and concerns about its impact on their teeth and jaw development, involves working systematically towards transitioning from a removable partial denture to a more permanent and comfortable tooth replacement option. Dr Auger expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including getting a full night's sleep without being woken up by a throbbing toothache or jaw pain.
• Effectively addressing a new or changing bump, swelling, or unusual growth on their gums or oral tissues that they were worried about with Dr Auger's comprehensive dental approach often leads to the desired outcome of their sensitive teeth becoming much less reactive to hot and cold, making eating enjoyable again, enabling patients to more freely and confidently engage in playing a wind instrument with ease and comfort and social interactions.
• If wanting to learn the best and most effective way to clean around their existing dental bridge, implants, or orthodontic appliances has unfortunately put enjoying the full taste of food without a metallic taste from old fillings or bad breath on hold or made it less enjoyable, Dr Auger works closely with patients towards attaining achieving straighter teeth and an improved bite with discreet clear aligner therapy, effectively helping them regain their previous level of oral function and aesthetic confidence.
• Through Dr Auger's skilled guidance and modern dental techniques, patients suffering from recognizing the need for a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) because it had been a significant time since their last professional hygiene visit often find they can readily achieve a noticeable improvement or elimination of persistent bad taste in their mouth and once again enthusiastically pursue enjoyable pastimes like feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Auger, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall oral wellness objectives. Dr Auger is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Auger at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE JEAN-MICHEL NADEAU?

At your initial appointment, Dr Auger and the team at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE JEAN-MICHEL NADEAU 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 Auger will explain their assessment and any recommended treatments. It's a great time to ask questions.

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

No, you generally do not need a referral from a physician or another healthcare provider to see a general dentist like Dr Auger for a check-up, cleaning, or consultation. You can usually book an appointment directly with CLINIQUE DENTAIRE JEAN-MICHEL NADEAU.

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 or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers), or government assistance programs for eligible groups (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 the details of your private dental insurance regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment at CLINIQUE DENTAIRE JEAN-MICHEL NADEAU.

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 diagnostically necessary (e.g., for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments). Dr Auger 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).

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr Auger 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 visits every 3-4 months (e.g., those managing active gum disease or at high caries risk), while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals. It is important to follow Dr Auger's specific recommendation.
