At your initial appointment, Dr Bouhout and the team at Mes parodontistes du Plateau 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.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

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. Dr Bouhout 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 Bouhout for a check-up and cleaning?

Generally, every 6 months for most patients for preventative care. Dr Bouhout will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions. Follow Dr Bouhout's specific recommendation.
