Kobayakawa Dental Clinic

About

Kobayakawa Dental Clinic, located in Higashikumo-honmachi, Minami-ku, Hiroshima, has been providing community-rooted dental care since its founding in 1986. Director Dr. Hideo Kobayakawa, a graduate of the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at Matsumoto Dental University, specializes in pediatric dentistry, dentistry for patients with disabilities, and palatal expansion orthodontics. Together with the vice director, the clinic offers comprehensive oral care for patients of all ages, from children to adults. The clinic's core philosophy centers on prevention, with the goal of helping patients "go through life with as little dental intervention as possible," and places great importance on empowering patients to maintain their own oral health. In terms of treatment, the clinic has introduced electric anesthesia devices and ultra-fine needles for comfortable local anesthesia, as well as nitrous oxide inhalation sedation, creating a reassuring environment for patients with dental anxiety and young children. For orthodontic treatment, non-extraction orthodontics using palatal expansion appliances is the standard approach, with early intervention recommended from around age 3 to 4. The clinic is also committed to hygiene management, utilizing multiple sterilization devices including an autoclave to thoroughly sterilize all dental instruments. English-language services are available, and the facility is fully equipped with barrier-free access and parking, making it accessible to a wide range of patients.
