Diagnosis and Prevention
The best way to prevent tooth decay is to schedule regular visits to your dentist, where the dental hygienist will take care of dental scaling and answer all your questions regarding prevention and dental hygiene techniques. The dentist will take the time to perform a dental medical examination to diagnose and propose the best treatments according to your needs.

Dental Examination and Cleaning
It is important to undergo a dental examination and cleaning every 6 to 12 months to ensure good oral health. Cleaning helps remove plaque and tartar, while the examination helps stay ahead of potential oral health problems such as cavities, infections or gum diseases.

X-rays
X-rays are integral parts of good follow-ups and regular examinations. Our clinic is equipped with the latest dental X-ray technologies, offering clear and precise images for thorough diagnosis without compromising your comfort.

Scan or Impression?
We use advanced technologies that allow us to use a scan with a camera instead of an impression. This is a less intrusive method, making your visit with us more pleasant.

Frequently Asked Questions about General Dentistry
-
Is my dentist responsible for my insurance?
No! Your dentist submits your claim requests during your appointments. However, it is important to understand that your dentist is not responsible for your insurance. Therefore, it is up to you to ensure the percentage of your coverage and the specifications of your insurer.
-
How often do I need dental check-ups, and are X-rays necessary?
It is recommended to have dental check-ups every six months. These check-ups, along with X-rays, are extremely helpful in preventing issues like tooth decay. Some things are invisible to the naked eye, which is why X-rays are highly recommended.
-
How does dental decay form and progress?
Dental decay forms particularly when we have a diet rich in sweets. It can also result from poor dental hygiene, lack of tartar removal, and due to dry mouth. It is important to know that saliva also plays a significant role. Too acidic saliva could be a cause of this condition. A person may be more prone to cavities when their saliva is more acidic. Decay is a bacterium that causes the weakening of the enamel. In the long term, decay can reach the dental pulp and require a root canal treatment. Fortunately, several techniques are available to help prevent their formation.
-
How can I improve my chances of having good oral hygiene?
Brushing your teeth and flossing at least twice a day, combined with regular check-ups with your dentist, greatly contribute to good oral hygiene. This way, it is easier to prevent and address potential problems before they become more serious.
-
When I brush my teeth, there is bleeding. Is this normal?
Bleeding gums can be caused by excessive or too vigorous brushing, an abrasive toothbrush, lack of flossing, and certain medications. Plaque and tartar also cause irritation and can lead to diseases such as gingivitis and periodontal infections in the short and long term. Dental bleeding can therefore be due to several factors. In any case, a visit to your dentist is the best option to check and correct the situation.
-
I have sensitivity to cold, should I wait before consulting?
For any pain or sensitivity, you experience, we strongly recommend consulting your oral health professional.
-
Are dental X-rays dangerous for health?
This is a concern for many patients. First, it is important to know that X-rays are not what they used to be. Nowadays, with constantly evolving technology, digital radiology offers a result with much lower radiation exposure. It is important to note that every day, we are exposed to radiation, whether from the sun, cell phones, or even air travel. Therefore, there is not much to worry about regarding the X-rays taken during your annual appointment.
