As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Foxx offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Mouth Ulcer: Mouth ulcers, also called canker sores, are common and usually heal on their own, but your dentist can provide advice and treatment if they're persistent or severe.
- Tooth Decay Caused by Acid Attack: Bacteria in plaque create acids that dissolve tooth enamel, causing tooth decay that your dentist can treat with fillings, crowns, or other restorative procedures.
- Tooth Pulp Inflammation: Experiencing tooth pain that indicates an infection of the tooth's nerve? This is tooth pulp inflammation, which your dentist can effectively manage.
- Dental Injury: Broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, or injuries to your mouth are all considered dental injuries that your dentist can repair or manage.
- Tooth Abscess: A tooth abscess is a painful infection at the root of a tooth, and your general dentist can drain it, prescribe antibiotics, and potentially perform a root canal to save the tooth.
- Orofacial Pain: From headaches to jaw pain, orofacial pain can significantly impact your daily life. Your general dentist can help determine the cause and offer appropriate treatment or referral.
- Carcinoma Tongue: Carcinoma of the tongue is a type of mouth cancer that a general dentist can detect during routine checkups, referring you to a specialist for treatment if needed.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving General Dentistry care with Dr. Foxx:
- How is my dental health connected to my overall health, like my heart?
- Your oral health is critically linked to your overall health. Bacteria from chronic gum disease can enter your bloodstream, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Regular dental care is essential for maintaining not only healthy teeth, but also good overall health.
- My medications make my mouth constantly dry. Is this a dental problem?
- Yes, dry mouth (xerostomia) is a common side effect of many medications. Saliva is the body's natural defense against cavities, so a dry mouth significantly increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Dr. Foxx can recommend special rinses, gels, and other strategies to manage dry mouth.
- What is an oral cancer screening and is it part of my check-up?
- An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless part of every routine dental exam. Dr. Foxx will visually inspect your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, and throat for any unusual sores or discolorations. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
- If I need a root canal, will I have to see a specialist?
- General dentists like Dr. Foxx often perform root canals. Many can be handled in our office. For more complex cases, such as a difficult-to-reach molar, a referral to an endodontist may be necessary to ensure the best possible outcome.
- How often should I see the dentist, even if nothing hurts?
- Most patients benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months, even if they don't have any pain. These visits are crucial for prevention, allowing our team to remove tartar buildup and identify problems like cavities or gum disease early, before they become more serious.
- Is it normal for my gums to bleed when I brush or floss?
- Healthy gums should not bleed. Bleeding when brushing or flossing is usually the first sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis). This is often reversible with a professional cleaning and improved daily oral hygiene, but if left untreated, it can progress to more serious gum disease.
- What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
- A filling is like a patch to repair a small area of a damaged tooth. A crown is like a cap or helmet that covers the entire tooth, used when a tooth is significantly damaged, cracked, or has had a root canal, providing strength and protection.
- What can I do about sensitive teeth?
- Sensitivity is often caused by receding gums exposing the tooth root, or by worn-down enamel. Dr. Foxx can recommend desensitizing toothpastes, apply fluoride treatments, or check for other issues like cavities or cracked teeth that could be causing the sensitivity.
