The World Health Organization defines General Dentistry as “the science and art of preventing, diagnosing and treating diseases, injuries and malformations of the teeth, jaws and mouth”.

According to Wikipedia :

A dentist is a healthcare professional qualified to practice dentistry after graduating with a degree of either Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS), Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD), Bachelor of Dentistry (BDent), Bachelor of Dental Science (BDSc), or Bachelor of Dental Surgery/Chirurgiae (BDS) or (BChD) or equivalent.

In most western countries, to become a qualified dentist one must usually complete at least 4 years of postgraduate study. Generally, 2 years of clinical experience working with patients in an educational setting are required.

Reduction of saliva flow resulting in a dry mouth is a more common problem among older Ann Arbor adults, however, people of all ages in the Ann Arbor area may experience the symptoms of dry mouth at one time or another. These symptoms include a dry, red tongue, difficulty swallowing, and persistent sore throat.

Sometimes dry mouth in Ann Arbor dental patients is caused by a disease or infection, but a more frequent cause of dry mouth for patients in Ann Arbor is prescription medications.

Decongestants, blood pressure medications, antidepressants, and painkillers (all used extensively in Ann Arbor) are just some of the drugs that list ‘dry mouth’ as a common side effect.

It is common for allergy-prone Gary Sasaki DDS, MS dental patients to complain of dry mouth when they start taking antihistamines during the Ann Arbor hay fever season.

Aside from being an uncomfortable nuisance, untreated dry mouth can cause tooth damage for Ann Arbor dental patients. Adequate saliva is necessary to keep the mouth lubricated, wash the food from teeth, and neutralize the acidic environment caused by plaque. Extensive tooth decay causing gum disease can occur in the absence of saliva for Ann Arbor dental patients with chronic dry mouth.

If you are unsure of the cause of your dry mouth, or if you are looking for dry mouth treatments, call Gary Sasaki DDS, MS to schedule an appointment with Dr. Gary Sasaki.

When you visit Gary Sasaki DDS, MS in Ann Arbor, please be sure to bring a list of medications you are taking so Dr. Gary Sasaki can give you an accurate diagnosis.  We also offer cosmetic dentistry and implant dentistry services.

Dental sealants fill in the pits and grooves on the rear molars to create a smooth surface. Ann Arbor general dentists most often recommend sealants for children’s permanent back teeth, though sometimes they are used for adults, too.

Ann Arbor parents may not realize how quickly a cavity can form in a young child’s mouth. Many Saline area kids that we see develop cavities even before they start kindergarten! It is vital that our local parents start regular dental visits early. The American Dental Association advises that a child’s initial dental exam take place soon after the first tooth erupts, but no later than the toddler’s first birthday.

Dental sealants protect teeth that have no decay (primary prevention) and also prevent further decay progression in teeth that show very early signs of disease (secondary prevention).

At Gary Sasaki DDS, MS, we take special care of our Ann Arbor dental clients. We want each dental visits to be pleasant and painless so you will never develop a fear of the dentist.

-Dr. Gary Sasaki, dentist

I have been practicing general and cosmetic dentistry since 1971. Dentistry is a challenging and fascinating profession; dentists must have diagnostic skills, dexterity, extensive scientific knowledge, and good visual memory. Dentistry also requires artistic ability. In addition to the technical aspects of dentistry, I really enjoy interacting with my Ann Arbor dental patients.

I recognize that my clients have other choices in Ann Arbor area dental practices, and I work continually to earn their trust and surpass their expectations.

Each Ann Arbor dentistry client is unique. Many of my patients come in twice-yearly for an exam and cleaning. We help them maintain excellent oral health. Some cosmetic dentistry clients come to me seeking major restorative dental work. It is extremely gratifying to complete a smile makeover and see the client’s reaction when they see the result for the first time.

When I have a pre-treatment consultation with a new dentistry client, it is very informative for both of us. The patient learns the specifics about the possible procedures and I learn about the clients’ goals, concerns and expectations. Then I work with the client to develop a dental treatment plan that fits the patient’s needs, desired outcome and budget.

My dental practice is located at 1900 Packard Rd. in Ann Arbor. If you are looking for an experienced general and cosmetic dentist in the Ann Arbor area, call 734-482-7466 to schedule a consultation.

I look forward to meeting with you.

Though advanced dentistry would not be possible without drilling, the sound of a dental drill can make many Ann Arbor patient’s hearts pound. However, there is another way your cosmetic dentists can remove decay. This technique is known as air abrasion or drill-less dentistry. An air abrasion instrument removes material by spraying tiny aluminum oxide particles onto the tooth. The particles work like a sandblaster spraying away the affected tooth structure.

The many advantages of air abrasion make it a popular procedure for cosmetic dentists. Because air abrasion is usually pain free, the need for anesthesia is reduced. The air abrasion instrument does not create vibrations or pressure. Ann Arbor cosmetic dentistry patients appreciate the fact that air abrasion instruments don’t produce that whiny drill sound that rings in your ears and makes your palms sweat. Because of this, air abrasion can be a less-frightening option for young dentistry patients. Air abrasion is often quicker and more precise than traditional drilling, leaving more of the healthy tooth intact.
