 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I haven’t been to dentist in awhile and this was the right place to start again. No judgements and staff is very friendly and helpful. Dr Onishi is a great dentist. She communicates what needs to be done in a very gentle manner. Which brings my stress level down considerably. It doesn’t hurt that her favorite color is purple!! Every time I speak with anyone from the office I always walk away thinking they are so nice. It’s very refreshing. It makes realize that’s not really the norm any longer. But going here gives me hope that it will come back!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  The doctor and most of the staff are very nice but the scheduling gives inconsistent messages regarding cancellation policy and then sends threatening “you’ll get charged” letters under the guise of being nice and “not charging you this time”. I’d rather find another dentist that has less risk of spurious charges and consistent policies communicated regarding scheduling.

Canker sore ≠ cold sore. Canker sores are inside the mouth and not contagious. Cold sores are usually around the lips and contagious.

Q: Can medications cause dry mouth and cavities? 🦷
A: Yes. Some medicines reduce saliva, weakening a natural defense against tooth decay. Don't stop medication on your own—talk with your physician and dentist.

**WELLNESS WEDNESDAY: Canker Sore or Cold Sore? They’re Not the Same**A sore in or around your mouth can be uncomfortable—and it is easy to assume every sore is basically the same. But canker sores and cold sores are two different conditions.Canker sores develop inside the mouth. They are usually round or oval, with a white or yellow center and a red border. They are not contagious. Their exact cause is not fully understood, but possible triggers can include minor mouth injuries, emotional stress, hormonal changes, or certain nutritional deficiencies.Cold sores, also called fever blisters, are different. They are caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), usually appear as clusters of fluid-filled blisters around the lips, and are contagious. Some people notice tingling or burning before a cold sore appears.Both types of sores often improve on their own within about one to two weeks. If you have a sore that is unusually severe, keeps returning, makes eating or drinking difficult, does not heal as expected, or you simply are not sure what it is, professional evaluation is a good idea.A few comfort tips: avoid foods that sting or irritate the area, especially very hot, spicy, or acidic foods. And because cold sores are contagious, avoid kissing or sharing cups, utensils, lip products, or other items during an outbreak.Not every mouth sore needs treatment—but knowing what you are looking at can help you respond appropriately.**CALL US TODAY — (425) 493-8111****VISIT OUR WEBSITE — HarbourPlaceDental.com/contact-us**Read more here: NIDCR — Fever Blisters & Canker Sores#CankerSore #ColdSore #OralHealth #DentalHealth #DentalTips #HarbourPlaceDental ...

🦷 200 Years of Dental Innovations — Week 23In 1957, dentistry took a major leap forward when Dr. John Borden introduced the Airotor, a high-speed air-driven contra-angle handpiece capable of reaching about 300,000 rotations per minute.Why was that such a big change?Before high-speed air turbines, rotary dental instruments operated much more slowly. The Airotor gave dentists a faster way to cut and shape tooth structure during restorative procedures. According to the American Dental Association, it was an immediate commercial success and helped launch a new era of high-speed dentistry.The breakthrough was not simply “a faster drill.” It changed how restorative dentistry could be performed. High-speed handpieces helped make tooth preparation more efficient and became a foundation for the modern handpieces used in dental offices today.Modern equipment has continued to evolve with improved turbine designs, smaller heads, better cooling, lighting, ergonomics and infection-control procedures. But the basic idea that transformed dentistry in the 1950s — using a tiny air-powered turbine to drive a dental bur at very high speed — remains part of everyday dental care.It is a good reminder that many tools patients now take for granted began as remarkable innovations. What feels routine in a dental operatory today often represents decades of experimentation, engineering and refinement.At Harbour Place Dental, we enjoy looking back at the discoveries that helped shape the dentistry patients experience today.📞 (425) 493-8111🌐 harbourplacedental.comSource: American Dental Associationwww.ada.org/resources/ada-library/dental-history#DentalHistory #DentalInnovation #Dentistry #OralHealth #HarbourPlaceDental ...
