General Dentistry

Mostly, caries occurs when teeth are dissolved by tooth-decaying acid, which is spawned by bacteria.

The teeth dissolution by the acid is called "demineralization". Oppositely, calcium and phosphorus in saliva are taken in surface of teeth and regenerate the dissolved. It is called "recalcification".

In our mouths, bacteria produce tooth-decaying acid when we have meals and sweets, and calcium and phosphorus leak out of teeth surface and demineralization is caused.

After that, the acid is neutralized by saliva and brushing, and demineralization stops. Then, calcium and phosphorus are imbibed into teeth and recalcification occurs.

As just described, demineralization always alternates with recalcification. However, when demineralization exceeds recalicification, gradually surface of teeth turns rougher, and finally it becomes cavities.

At the early stage, surface of caries looks white and tarnished as frosted glass, and sometimes it looks there are tiny holes as it was pricked with a needle.

In the past, as a general treatment, such decayed area was scraped off and filled. However, recently, it is found that acceleration of recalicification can cure caries; there is no more need for scraping.



Pediatric Dentistry

We see signs of Pediatric Dentistry at every dental clinic. Since it is allowed to everybody to profess themselves as specialists in pediatric dentistry, even dentists who have never treated kids can put up the sign.

At the time that I graduated from a dental university in 1983, there were only a few schools, which had independent pediatric dentistry classes other than my school, Nihon School of dentistry.

There was Dr. Fukada who was a pioneer in pediatric dentistry, and I could learn his ethics− having a worm relationship with kids.

After graduation, at one of Dr. Fukada's follower, Dr. Fukai's clinic, I treated many kids who had been turned down by other clinics. Then, when I founded Arai Dental Clinic, I hired kid lovers by priority and trained them.

Our clinic gives treatment not immediately in case it is the first visit for the kid. First, our staffs play with him/her with various toys. After getting used to the air in our bright and open waiting lounge, all enters the examination room together.

However, it is not the time for treatment. We ask kids to play on and around examination chairs. Sometimes, this could be all that kids asked to do for the day.

We are longing for that all kids love dentists by the day they become adults. Many people must have traumas of fear and pain. Hearts of kids are easy to get hurt when adults treat them without kindness and nurturance.

In a certain university hospital, outstanding kids are tied up and given treatment forcedly; it is called "Sushi-roll style". Moreover, it is the most terrible that some doctors tend to use narcosis.

It is possible to treat illness without narcosis if there is not the risk of bacterial infection. Our clinic use safe laughter gas as comfort care and have a system, which provides your kids pain-free treatment.

Also, for cavity prevention, offering not only topical application of fluoride solution but also same cleaning system for adults prevent teeth from decaying. We want to show you our tear-free treatment for kids and their smile as they say good-bye to our staff. This is "our style".



Implant Dentistry

When we research historical origin of Implant Dentistry, we can reach the earliest era of human history. A tooth made of emerald was found inside a mummy's mouth of Inca and as there were dental calculi on it, it is obvious that the tooth was used for a few years.

Then, as years passed, ivories and animal teeth were used for implantation. However, they could not be appropriate for long-term use.

Recently, rustproof materials such as stainless steel, gold, and ceramics had been applied in clinical settings also in Japan. However, there were many patients who could not use these implants over the long term.

After that, bony adhesion of pure titanium was found, and the treatment procedure became more successful. Today, it has greatly been drawing attention as one of treatments for patients who have lost teeth.

In Western advanced countries, implant dentistry is the best option for the treatment of lost-teeth, and if giving this treatment is impossible, dental bridge or artificial teeth are applied.
