An Dental Clinic
About
Located in Hamadayama, Suginami Ward, Tokyo, this dental clinic is situated in an easily accessible location with a parking lot and provides English-language services. Established in 2003, the clinic is operated by two dentists who honed their skills in the periodontics department of a university hospital, driven by the desire to reduce the number of people troubled by tooth decay and periodontal disease. By the time symptoms of periodontal disease such as swelling or loosening become noticeable to the patient, the condition has already progressed considerably. Similarly, tooth decay is often significantly worsened by the time pain appears. Against this background, the clinic encourages patients to receive dental check-ups before any symptoms occur—that is, before developing cavities or periodontal disease. The clinic aims to be a place where even people without symptoms can feel comfortable visiting, and strives to create a reassuring atmosphere amidst the lingering image of dental clinics associated with pain and fear.
