Sasaki Dental Clinic
About
Sasaki Dental Clinic, located in Mizusawayanagicho, Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture, provides dental care to patients of all ages as a community-rooted clinic. The clinic places particular emphasis on preventive dentistry, establishing an organizational structure that offers continuous maintenance focused on "preventing cavities" and "avoiding tooth loss" rather than limiting itself to conventional treatment-centered care involving drilling and filling. This initiative has been recognized by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, and the clinic is certified as an Enhanced Oral Disease Management System provider. Given that only about 10% of dental clinics nationwide hold this certification, it demonstrates the clinic's comprehensive commitment to preventive dentistry. The clinic has focused on children's oral development and cavity prevention since its establishment, and also provides continuous management to prevent the progression of periodontal disease in adults, making its treatment style characterized by supporting oral health maintenance throughout all life stages. English services are available, making it an accessible environment for non-Japanese speakers. The facility features a parking lot and barrier-free access, ensuring convenience for wheelchair users and elderly patients. The clinic is closed on Sundays and holidays, as well as during year-end/new year and Obon periods.
