Kanamaru Dental Clinic
About
Kanamaru Dental Clinic is a dental practice located in Koganeminami-ku, Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The director graduated from a local prefectural high school and completed the Faculty of Dentistry at Kyushu Dental University. After gaining experience at dental clinics in central Tokyo and a large dental practice in Kumamoto City, the director later established this clinic in their hometown. Based on this background, the clinic has adopted a treatment philosophy that combines 'offensive treatment' to restore damaged areas with 'defensive treatment' to preserve teeth. In terms of clinical care, the clinic places particular emphasis on preventive dentistry, promoting the concept of 'preventive dentistry from minus one year of age,' offering initiatives that look ahead to the future of babies from the pregnancy stage. During pregnancy, hormonal changes and morning sickness can easily deteriorate oral health, with approximately 70% of pregnant women reported to have cavities, periodontal disease, or pregnancy gingivitis. The clinic provides information about these oral changes during pregnancy and guidance on care during the morning sickness period. Additionally, since periodontal disease has been found to be a risk factor for premature birth and low birth weight, the importance of dental checkups during the stable period of pregnancy is also emphasized. In terms of facilities, the clinic accepts credit cards and electronic payments, and parking is available, creating an environment accessible to patients of all generations. Furthermore, English language support is available. The clinic is closed on Sundays, public holidays, New Year's (January 1-3), Obon period (August 13-15), and year-end (December 30-31).
