I love my dentist. He's awesome. He's probably the only dentist in Japan who so vehemently believes in twice-yearly preventative check-ups and cleaning. He even gives a discount if you pay for both appointments in advance (thus motivating you to actually keep the appointments.)
He's got a new ultrasonic cleaning thingy that uses an even higher frequency sonicWaterCleaningBeamThingy to destroy all the tooth nastiness that builds up. Those upper left teeth of mine that I've brushed too hard and therefore have a bit of receding gumline don't like the cold water spray too much, but other than that I love being able to see the spaces between my teeth again.
SO much better than getting cavities filled, that's for damn sure.
Now, if only Japanese national health insurance actually covered preventative medicince...
