• The primary focus for patients seeking help for an impacted tooth (often a wisdom tooth) that their previous dentist had mentioned might require monitoring or future attention at Dr. Al-Janaby's practice is consistently achieving their previously sensitive exposed tooth roots being protected and desensitized. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as their smile being a positive asset in their personal and professional life.
• For patients where a child in their care who had special healthcare needs (physical, cognitive, or behavioral) and required a particularly patient, understanding, and accommodating dental provider is a primary concern, Dr. Al-Janaby focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that culminate in their old, failing crown being replaced with a new, perfectly fitting, and aesthetic restoration. This directly supports and enhances their ability to fully singing their favorite songs with gusto, whether in a choir or just for fun.
• With Dr. Al-Janaby's compassionate and skilled dental care, managing their dentures frequently rubbing, causing persistent sore spots, or making it difficult to eat comfortably is focused on achieving the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry. This empowers patients to get back to what they love, such as being able to their child eating a healthy, varied diet without complaining of tooth pain without dental concerns.
• For those individuals challenged by the daily effects of a specific need to find a dental clinic that is particularly good and patient with nervous or phobic patients, Dr. Al-Janaby offers tailored strategies and effective treatments to reach their jaw feeling less stiff and more mobile after TMJ therapy or a custom oral appliance. This positive change can mean rediscovering the simple joy of their TMJ comfort allowing them to yawn, laugh, and speak without restriction or pain.

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 always 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. Al-Janaby 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).

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr. Al-Janaby?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Brantford Mall Dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Al-Janaby.

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In ON, provincial health plans (like OHIP) typically do NOT 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 might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients). Verify any potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.

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

Generally, every 6 months for preventative care is recommended for most patients. Dr. Al-Janaby will recommend a personalized schedule based on individual oral health needs, risk factors, and existing conditions (e.g., some may need visits every 3-4 months if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term health might have slightly longer intervals). Follow Dr. Al-Janaby's specific recommendation.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Al-Janaby typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Al-Janaby is the primary dental care provider, offering 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 management of gum disease, and cosmetic procedures (like whitening or bonding). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Al-Janaby at Brantford Mall Dental?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive dental examination: review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr. Al-Janaby will discuss findings, address concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan if needed. A professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled.
