An experienced dentist and dental practice leader, Dr. Aaron Farrokh has served as the owner and president of East Cedar Dental since 2012. Outside of his work, Dr. Aaron Farrokh is a martial arts practitioner who excels at Kenpo Karate. The Yoshida Clan brought Kenpo, a particular unarmed fighting style, to Japan roughly 700 years ago. Rapidly adopted by the Komatsu Clan, this fighting style took its name from a Japanese word that means “fist law.” The modern Kenpo Karate tradition began in 1949, when master William K.S. Chow dubbed his unique martial arts system Kenpo Karate and joined with Ed Parker to spread the form throughout America, in part through Parker’s Kenpo Karate Association of America. Although Chow would later abandon the label and Parker would fail to name a successor upon his death, Kenpo Karate continued to spread through the students the pair had trained.

An accomplished dentist with 20 years of experience, Dr. Aaron Farrokh has worked with patients from his own practice, East Cedar Dental, Inc., since 2012. Dr. Aaron Farrokh is a longtime member of the American Dental Association (ADA). In October 2018, the ADA announced a new policy that encourages dentists to educate their patients about the benefits of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. According to research from the American Cancer Society, HPV will account for 70 to 80 percent of the 50,000 new oral cancer diagnoses in 2018. ADA officials have pointed to HPV as the direct cause of the recent increase in oropharyngeal cancers. Getting vaccinated against the human papillomavirus can prevent a large number of these cancers from developing. ADA is joining with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in recommending the human papillomavirus vaccine for adolescents and adults aged 27-45 as determined by recent studies conducted by the CDC and the US Food and Drug Administration. |
