About
Madokoro Dental Clinic, located in Shimosato, Nachikatsuura-cho, Higashimuro-gun, Wakayama Prefecture, is a medical institution specializing in dental care. The clinic offers a wide range of dental services, including cavity treatment, periodontal therapy, denture treatment, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and occlusal therapy. A defining feature of the clinic's treatment philosophy is its focus on the "8020 Movement," pursuing tooth-preserving approaches whenever possible while emphasizing prevention over mere drilling and filling. In pediatric dentistry, the clinic places particular emphasis on preventive measures such as fluoride application and oral hygiene care. For orthodontic treatment, the clinic adopts a non-extraction approach aimed at achieving both functional and aesthetic dental alignment. The clinic also provides occlusal therapy for symptoms caused by malocclusion, such as headaches, shoulder stiffness, and tinnitus. Home visit dental care is available for patients who have difficulty traveling to the clinic, contributing to improved access to dental healthcare in the community. Infection control measures include spatial sterilization using ozone generators and air purifiers, as well as thorough disinfection of equipment. A digital X-ray system has been introduced to minimize radiation exposure. English-language support is available, and parking facilities are provided. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The clinic is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.
