OC Lakes Dental

OC Lakes Dental General and Cosmetic Dentistry With so many people in need, and limited contact time with each, the team worked hard to bring a more ongoing impact.

One of Dr. Takigawa’s most cherished and rewarding memories of dental school was participating in mobile dental clinics in the rural Philippines , in which 1700+ people received dental care for the first time in their lives. The solution was to connect with local missionaries who were living there long term and could raise the collective dental IQ of the rural towns. This experience led Dr. Takiga

wa to continue on with underserved populations, working at community health centers in San Diego. Now in Irvine, Dr. Takigawa aims to provide dentistry of the highest quality while still accessible to people of all walks of life. His passion is the relationship – positive, lasting impact in more ways than just filling teeth.

If someone tells you about a recent study questioning community fluoridation and its effect on neurobehavioral development of toddlers, here's what you can tell them:

1. They used a very specific subgroup of subjects in a very specific area, each of which have their own confounding variables not corrected for
2. The sample size of 263 mother-child pairs is significantly less representative than a 2023 study that had 10 times as many, and which contradicted these findings
3. "Spot samples of urinary fluoride are not a valid measure of an individual's exposure to fluoride."

Remember too that your baby or toddler generally isn't brushing with fluoride toothpaste, so there's much less concern about the additive effect of multiple sources! This small study is hardly reason to change our recommendations or how we treat our very own children. But it is an invitation to continue researching the many intricacies of our health. Happy studying!
