Ep. 43 Dr. Kanika Bembey: Doing Right by Treating Only One Patient at One Time

Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce | City of Carlsbad, California

Dr. Kanika Bembey is with Encinitas Periodontics and Dental Implants. She grew up in India, went to dental school there, and currently lives in California.

In an unusual move, she took over a practice from an owner and worked for him for a few months as an associate, then switched, so he's now her associate and she’s the business owner. It’s going well.

Dr. Bembey performs LANAP, laser assisted gum surgery. “It's minimally invasive. That means we are not using the traditional blades to cut away your gums. Laser is just light and does minimal cutting. It's also no sutures or stitches that I have to put in because I'm not doing a traditional surgery.”

She also uses what she calls platelet-rich fibrin procedure, which uses the patient’s own blood plasma. “Plasma has concentrated growth factors, which helps you heal faster and better. If there's a one-day-old wound and we are putting a plasma dressing on top of it, it behaves like a one-week-old wound.”

Her motto is “Treat only one patient at one time and we always do what is right for the patient at that time.”

Dr. Kanika Bembey says it only takes five minutes to take care of your oral health if you do proper steps. Take good care of your oral health. It’s so important.
