Kume Dental
About
Kume Dental Clinic is a dental office located in Kamimiyaei-machi, Yanagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture, offering general dentistry and pediatric dentistry. Director Nobushige Kume graduated from Kyushu University School of Dentistry and has a background in providing dental care in remote areas, including islands in the northern Kyushu region spanning three prefectures and Sasebo City in Nagasaki Prefecture. He established the clinic in Yanagawa to bring his extensive clinical experience back to the local community. A notable aspect of the clinic's treatment philosophy is its commitment to preserving and maintaining teeth whenever possible as a fundamental approach to care. This stems from the director's training in the conservative dentistry department at a university hospital, and the avoidance of unnecessary tooth extractions is one of the clinic's defining characteristics. Another key strength is its emphasis on patient communication, with careful attention given to each patient's hopes and concerns. Office hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM (last reception at 6:30 PM), and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The clinic is closed on Wednesdays, Sundays, and public holidays. English-language services are available, and ample parking is provided for convenient access.
