Dentist · Periodontics Resident

Rami Rashed

Doctor of Dental Surgery

Dentist and periodontics resident at Loma Linda University. A little about my background, my training, and a few oral-health basics worth knowing.

A science background, and a long road through dental school

I studied biochemistry and biology before dental school, earned my DDS at Loma Linda University, and I'm now a few years into my residency there. That science background is still how I think — I like understanding why something works before I believe it.

This site is a simple place to share my background and a few everyday things worth knowing about taking care of your teeth.

How I think about it

A few things I keep coming back to

Prevention first

Most dental trouble is easier to head off than to fix. The everyday habits are where it pays off.

Plain language

Health decisions get a lot easier when someone explains things without the jargon.

Still learning

I'm deep in my residency right now, which means staying close to the research and the science.

Habits

Most people already know they should brush twice a day. The hard part is doing it on the busy days. A few small tweaks make it automatic.

Visits

What a dental checkup is actually for

It's easy to think of a checkup as just a cleaning. It's really a chance to catch the small stuff before it turns into the big stuff.

Good to know

A few quick answers

The questions that come up most often.

Not at the moment. He's a full-time resident at Loma Linda University, so this site is a profile and a place to share a few oral-health basics rather than a practice.
