Step 1

file creation

On your first visit, upon her arrival, the receptionist will collect her personal data to open her file. She will ask you to complete a brief questionnaire about your oral health and her medical history to get an overview of her health status. Your old file can also be transferred from your old clinic to Centre Dentaire Fairmount.

Step 2

Radiography

Subsequently, the dentist will perform dental x-rays which will be carefully examined. This can detect the presence of cavities, infections, tumors, cysts or bone loss. X-rays are also used to see the position of your teeth and roots, and to identify the spacing or occlusion of teeth, for example.

Step 3

Dental examination

Once the x-rays are completed, the dentist will screen for oral cancer by checking the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues and gums for signs. In addition, he will examine the gums and the bones around the teeth to look for signs of periodontal disease. Finally, the practitioner will observe the fillings, crowns and other restorative work that has been previously carried out.

Step 4

Dental Cleaning

This step aims to remove the plaque that has accumulated on your teeth in order to prevent gingivitis, cavities and bad breath. Once the scaling is complete, the hygienist will floss and polish the teeth to a smooth, shiny finish. Finally, fluoride will be applied to strengthen the surface of your teeth. Cleaning usually takes 45 to 60 minutes.

FAQ

Do you accept my dental insurance?

Centre Dentaire Fairmount accepts almost all major private dental insurance plans and student programs. Additionally, we are well-versed in the latest coverage trends and are happy to discuss the details of your insurance plan before any treatment begins.

How do I know when to go for a dental exam and cleaning?

On average, a healthy adult person generally receives a dental cleaning and exam every six months. Although daily brushing and flossing twice a day go a long way in maintaining a healthy mouth, it is wise to check for plaque that has hardened into tartar, requiring professional cleaning to avoid gingivitis, among others. At the Fairmount Dental Center, we have flexible hours adapted to your reality to carry out your cleaning and regular dental examination; contact us to learn more.
