Kaneko Dental Clinic
About
Kaneko Dental Clinic, located at Gokan in Yurihonjo City, Akita Prefecture, is approximately a 15-minute walk from Ugo-Honjo Station on the Uetsu Main Line. Under the direction of Director Keizo Kaneko, the clinic emphasizes a community-rooted approach to dental care, with a particular focus on preventive dentistry as a major feature. The clinic operates primarily with insurance-based treatment, aiming to minimize patient costs as much as possible. The clinic is attentive to pain management during procedures, offering electric anesthesia injections and nitrous oxide sedation for reducing anxiety in children. Dental hygienists perform PMTC (Professional Mechanical Tooth Cleaning) to remove plaque that cannot be removed through daily brushing, helping prevent cavities and gum disease. The clinic also features a kids' space, with an approach designed to help children become accustomed to dental visits without stress. Additionally, the clinic offers home-visit dental care for those who have difficulty visiting in person, meeting the diverse needs of the community. The clinic is equipped with parking and barrier-free facilities, and provides English-language communication support.
