Committing
to the profession and community are two of Dr. Eric's
focuses.
Eric has been a peer reviewer for the Journal of Academy
of General Dentistry for the last couple years. The journal
published scientific articles from scientists/dentists
all over the world. Topics range from different techniques,
dental materials, large scale population studies, case
studies among different divisions in dentistry such as
implant, root canal, oral health and as well as the overall
body health and much more. Before a scientific paper is
published, Eric reviews the article and gives his opinions
and critiques on that dental topic. Once he approves the
article, the journal publishes the article for other dentists
to read.
Eric also participates in clinical research. Recently,
the research group provided Eric a cavity detection aid
called Spectra to compare with just the mirror and explorer.
Spectra has been out in the market since 2012. The explorer
can tells how deep the cavity is, but Spectra shines a
fluorescent light similar to Doppler Radar to detect how
much bacteria is growing. An orange, yellow or red reading
indicates high bacteria activities. The idea is to detect
cavity early, so we educate our patients and keep the
cavity small, so we do not have to open the tooth. We
will update after the research study is complete.
Being a Fellow means life long learning. You may ask,
has the doctor learn enough? There will always be newer,
longer lasting and more natural looking products and simpler
and more predictable ways to do things less invasively
to save time and lower fee. We always have to balance
technology and traditional method which with a good tracking
record. Eric attends different continued education courses
year round for you.
Atwater
Family Dental is a proud member of the Atwater
Chamber of Commerce. I am glad to work with many
good businesses in the central valley. Weekly
emails keep me up to date different local events
. It is not uncommon to see some of you there.
Please join the Chamber and support Atwater. Eric
also sponsors several local youth activities including
sports teams, music department, high school ROP
event, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, and
other volunteer events such as CDA Cares. With
an emphasis on higher education, Eric wants to
inspire young people to choose the right career
path and contribute back to the community. Besides
a healthy mouth, I want your family to grow and
be successful.
Even though Atwater is in our name, we provide
service to people including Merced, Livingston,
Los Banos, Turlock, Chowchilla, Madera, Fresno,
Modesto, Lodi, Stockton, Gustine, Hilmar, and
