A Local Dentist for Your Family

An awesome dentist is around the corner and if you’re in need of a skilled, kind, and caring dentist, it’s time to schedule an appointment with Dr. Paul Shinto and his associates.

A New Team Member from Your Local Dentist

Dr. Shinto and his team have recently welcomed Dr. Bryce Kato to the practice. Working alongside Dr. Shinto and Dr. Bert Funatsu, this awesome dentist is ready to help you and your family become proactive with dental care.

As a local dentist who truly cares about patients, Dr. Kato is an asset to Dr. Shinto and his associates in Pasadena.

Dr. Kato is a Southern California native who completed his residency program at the Loma Linda VA hospital and just like Dr. Shinto and Dr. Funatsu, Dr. Kato believes in helping those who are disadvantaged. In fact, he participated in the USC Mobile Clinic Program treating children who were unable to afford proper dental care.

Proactive and Preventive Dental Care

If you follow this dental blog you will recall that your dentist in Pasadena believes in proactive dentistry. Being proactive is all about regular dental checkups professional dental cleanings and of course home care.

When you schedule regular dental checkups with your local dentist you will get the best plan for your oral health. For example if you have periodontitis your dentists will put together a plan including quadrant deep cleaning.

This could take six months to a year and is so worth it. A deep cleaning dental plan helps control gum disease making you less susceptible to tooth decay and of course gum disease. Don’t forget that gum disease is the number one reason adults lose teeth.

Gum Disease Not Always Evident

Signs of gum disease include bleeding after flossing, puffy and red gums, and pockets between gums and teeth.

Your local dentist explains that symptoms of gingivitis and the more serious periodontitis are not always present.

Some people aren’t even aware they have gum disease until it has progressed to the non-curable periodontal disease. This makes dental checkups and professional cleanings with your local dentist essential.
