Aikawa Family Dental Clinic
About
Aikawa Family Dental, located in Aikawamachi, Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, is a clinic providing community-rooted dental care. The clinic places great emphasis on explaining treatment details and oral conditions to patients in a clear and thorough manner, and engages even those with dental anxiety through friendly, conversational communication. A defining feature of its care philosophy is the adoption of a "patient-participatory" approach, where rather than the dentist unilaterally proceeding with treatment, patients are encouraged to understand their current oral condition and symptoms and voice their own opinions. The clinic is also committed to preventing the recurrence of cavities and periodontal disease, with post-treatment aftercare and ongoing support tailored to individual patient needs being among its key strengths. True to its name as a family dental clinic, the facility is designed to be welcoming for the whole family, and includes a dedicated parent-child room where guardians with young children can receive care with peace of mind. English-speaking staff are available, making it an accessible option for those not confident in Japanese. The clinic also offers a parking lot for patients arriving by car. The clinic is closed on Sundays, public holidays, year-end and New Year holidays, and the Obon period.
