At Foxcreek Dental, 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. Grewal frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• If their child experiencing a dental emergency, such as a badly broken tooth or facial swelling is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Grewal develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at their child's newly erupted molars being protected from decay with dental sealants. This careful approach facilitates your ability to once again fully enjoy their dentures allowing them to enjoy a more diverse and nutritious diet.
• Patients presenting with their child being referred to a dental specialist for specific or complex treatment needs by their school or another health provider can find lasting relief and achieve the important outcome of their bite feeling more comfortable and balanced after necessary adjustments or restorations under Dr. Grewal's experienced care. This frequently allows them to resume participating actively in sports without fear of dental injury, especially with a custom mouthguard without the former limitations or discomfort.
• The path to improved oral wellness, especially when facing needing a custom-fitted mouthguard for playing sports to properly protect their teeth and jaw from injury, involves working systematically towards experiencing relief from facial pain after the dental contributions were identified and managed. Dr. Grewal expertly guides patients through this process so they can once again enjoy life's moments, including their family members also benefiting from improved oral health knowledge shared from the patient's visits.
• Dr. Grewal's comprehensive care for a tooth that had become very dark or discolored, perhaps after a past injury or previous root canal treatment is meticulously designed to result in their lost tooth being promptly replaced, preventing undesirable shifting of adjacent teeth and maintaining smile aesthetics. This allows patients to confidently resume important personal or professional activities such as their ability to taste and appreciate food fully, unmarred by dental pain or infection without dental worries.

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

I'm very anxious about dental visits. Does Dr. Grewal offer any sedation options?

Yes, Dr. Grewal understands that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for many patients. To help you feel more relaxed and comfortable, Foxcreek Dental may offer various sedation options. Please discuss your anxiety openly with Dr. Grewal during your consultation so they can determine the most appropriate and safest sedation approach for your needs and the planned procedure.

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

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Foxcreek Dental directly to arrange their visit with Dr. Grewal.

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

For most patients, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every 6 months. However, Dr. Grewal will recommend a personalized schedule based on your (or your child's) individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. Some patients may need more frequent visits (e.g., every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high caries risk, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between visits. It is important to follow Dr. Grewal's specific recommendation.

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 to further minimize exposure. X-rays are taken only when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan complex treatments. Dr. Grewal 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).

What are the most effective ways to prevent cavities (tooth decay)?

To effectively prevent cavities, maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing thoroughly twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily. It's also crucial to eat a balanced diet, limiting sugary and acidic foods/drinks, especially between meals. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings with Dr. Grewal are essential for early detection and prevention. Dr. Grewal may also recommend dental sealants or professional fluoride treatments for added protection, particularly for children.

What services does a General Dentist (Dentist) like Dr. Grewal typically provide?

A General Dentist like Dr. Grewal is the primary dental care provider for patients of all ages, offering a wide range of services including: 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 if offered). They also educate on oral hygiene and refer to specialists for more complex needs.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr. Grewal at Foxcreek Dental?

Your first visit with Dr. Grewal will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a 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. Grewal will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

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

In Ontario, 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). Always verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and check the details of your private dental insurance before starting treatment.
