Miyashita Dental Clinic
About
Located in Toyota, Nikko City, Miyashita Dental Clinic is a Ministry of Health certified dental clinic that meets the requirements for an enhanced family dentist clinic, home medical care support dental clinic, and outpatient dental care facility system. It provides preventive treatments for all generations from age 0 and home dental care for those who have difficulty visiting the clinic. They place special emphasis on infection prevention measures: complete separation of patient and staff flow paths, sterilization and disinfection of instruments for each patient following the Japan Dental Association guidelines, and thorough hygiene management using only disposable items. The clinic is equipped with hospital operating room-level hand washing facilities, as well as AED and emergency resuscitation sets, ensuring a collaborative system with medical departments. Their treatment philosophy emphasizes preventive care to preserve teeth as much as possible, and even when tooth reduction is necessary, they keep it to the absolute minimum. For decreased oral function symptoms such as choking during meals or only being able to eat soft foods, they conduct precise examinations including swallowing endoscopy, masticatory function tests, and tongue pressure tests, provide dietary guidance, and support transitions from gastrostomy to oral intake as well as oral care and rehabilitation for nursing care. Additionally, they have established a special needs outpatient department for persons with disabilities, the elderly, pregnant women, and those with dental phobia, showing consideration for those who cannot receive regular dental treatment due to various circumstances. The clinic is also well-equipped with English-speaking services, parking facilities, and barrier-free access.
