Tanihashi Dental Clinic, located in Nika-Nishincho, Kakamigahara City, Gifu Prefecture, is a dental clinic with English-speaking staff, parking facilities, and barrier-free access. Under the direction of Dr. Masashi Tanihashi, a graduate of Asahi University School of Dentistry, the clinic provides treatment focused on periodontal disease. Addressing periodontal disease, which affects over 80% of Japanese people, basic examinations include periodontal pocket examinations, tooth mobility tests, and X-rays. Scaling is performed for gingivitis and mild periodontitis, while root planing is applied for deep-seated plaque and tartar. The clinic explains oral conditions in easy-to-understand terms and proceeds with treatment based on patient understanding and consent. Clinic hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, with afternoon hours on Monday and Wednesday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, Tuesday and Friday from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, and Saturday from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The clinic is closed on Thursdays and Sundays, with morning-only treatment on Thursdays during weeks with holidays. With a nursery staff member on-site and childcare services available, parents with young children can visit with peace of mind.
