Smile ENT & Dental Clinic
About
Smile ENT & Dental Clinic is located within Medical Mall Shiroishi in Shiroishi-cho, Kishima-gun, Saga Prefecture, and opened in January 2019 as a clinic combining otolaryngology and dentistry. By covering two closely related medical fields under one roof, the clinic provides coordinated care for symptoms spanning the oral cavity, nasal cavity, and pharynx. A notable feature is that the clinic employs the only full-time Kampo (traditional herbal medicine) specialist among ENT physicians in Saga Prefecture. In addition to conventional Western medical treatment, patients can receive care from a Kampo perspective, offering broader options for those suffering from chronic conditions. The clinic also provides B-spot therapy (EAT therapy), a treatment known for chronic nasopharyngitis, and occasionally sees patients with cases that are difficult to manage at other facilities. In terms of equipment, the clinic is equipped with digital CT that limits radiation exposure to just 1/24th of the standard dose, enabling safe examinations for patients of all ages. An allergy testing device that can screen 41 items with a single drop of fingertip blood in approximately 30 minutes is also available, allowing efficient identification of causes behind hay fever and food allergies. As the clinic is situated within a medical mall, coordination with internal medicine, dermatology, and other departments is straightforward, and prompt referrals to nearby secondary medical facilities are arranged when hospitalization or advanced examinations are needed. English-language support is available, and both parking and barrier-free access are provided, making the clinic accessible to a wide range of patients.
