Preventive DentistryAt Michael Yokoyama, D.D.S, we pride ourselves on treating every member of the family. Family dentistry is focused on preventing potential complications, rather than treating them. If you and your family are in need of professional dental services, we can help! Cleanings, Exams, and Oral Cancer ScreeningsThe American Dental Association (ADA) recommends a routine check-up up roughly twice a year. A routine appointment with Dr. Yokoyama will typically include a professional cleaning and a detailed examination of your teeth, gums, and other oral tissues. We may also recommend an oral cancer screening for our older patients. Learn more about routine check-ups. Fluoride TreatmentFluoride is a naturally-occurring mineral found in many of our foods and beverages. It is also a useful tool in fighting tooth decay. Every day, our teeth lose and gain minerals through the processes of demineralization and remineralization. If the process of demineralization exceeds that of remineralization tooth decay will occur. Professional fluoride treatment allows us to supplement the process of remineralization and prevent potential decay. It can even reverse minor instances of decay. Fluoride treatment is particularly beneficial for patients at a greater risk of tooth decay, such as children, teens, and seniors. Discover how fluoride treatment can help prevent decay for you and your family.
