What Is a Dental Health Scan?
At Mercer Island Dental, a dental health scan is a state-of-the-art procedure to view your oral health comprehensively. Our expert dentists have degrees in dental hygiene to properly analyze your dental health. The process involves taking digital images of your mouth, including teeth, gums, and jawbone.
This non-invasive process allows Dr. Goichi Shiotsu and Dr. Ryan Tam to detect hidden issues that aren't visible to the naked eye or that might be overlooked during a standard dental examination.
The dental health scan is a critical tool in our diagnostic arsenal, enabling us to craft a personalized treatment plan tailored to address oral health concerns, from tooth decay and gum disease to potential alignment issues.
We use detailed scans to help keep your mouth healthy by providing accurate information for maintaining oral health.

Dental Hygienist Dental Cleanings
At Mercer Island Dental, our dental cleanings are meticulously performed by highly trained dental hygienists who are passionate about our patients. Every cleaning appointment is for cleaning your teeth and teaching you how to keep them healthy. The goal is to maintain good overall health. This includes proper brushing and flossing techniques and appointments to help prevent future dental issues.
During a typical cleaning, our dental hygienists remove plaque and tartar build-up from above and below the gum line, areas that are tough to reach with regular brushing and flossing. This thorough cleaning helps prevent the onset of gum disease and tooth decay, two of the most common oral health issues. Our dental hygienists also perform tooth polishing to remove surface stains, making your teeth feel smooth and bright.
Furthermore, these sessions serve as an opportunity for our dental hygienists to assess your oral health comprehensively. They look for signs of bleeding gums, loose teeth, and other symptoms that might indicate underlying issues. By catching these signs early, we can address problems before they escalate, ensuring optimal health.
Our dental hygienists dedicate themselves to ensuring your dental cleaning experience is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. They use gentle techniques and are always ready to adjust their approach based on your feedback and comfort level.
When Should My Kids Start Visiting the Dentist?
One common question many parents have is, "When should my kids start visiting the dentist?" The American Dental Association and the pediatric team at Mercer Island Dental recommend that children have their first dental visit by the age of one or within six months after their first tooth emerges.
Early visits to the dentist establish a dental home for your child. Our expert dentists will address their dental health needs from infancy through adolescence at this location.
These initial visits are crucial for several reasons. Dr. Goichi Shiotsu and Dr. Ryan Tam can monitor the growth of your child's teeth. They can also detect any issues at an early stage and provide you with valuable advice on how to maintain your child's dental health.
Taking your child to the dentist early can help them become familiar with the office. This can make them less scared of future appointments. Our team is committed to making dental visits comfortable and positive, helping to establish healthy habits for life.
