The New Year holidays have a way of making the whole town feel a little different, don’t they? And of course, that’s exactly when the “my tooth hurts” emergency tends to happen.

*In an emergency, it’s recommended that you call ahead first.
It may be crowded during the New Year holidays
During the New Year holidays, many other dental clinics are closed, so patients tend to concentrate at this clinic. They also handle “emergency patients” such as those requiring emergency transport or treatment for injuries, so depending on the timing, the wait may be longer!
So the director has made a small request.
Here’s the director’s “New Year holiday request”
There’s a request to help keep emergency slots available.
During the New Year holidays, priority is given to “emergency patients”, such as those needing emergency transport or treatment for injuries. Because of that, they’re asking for cooperation by avoiding non-urgent treatments such as whitening, tartar removal, and routine checkups during this period.
Times like these are when it may be reassuring to have them
According to the official information, the clinic is open year-round, including the New Year holidays, Sundays, and public holidays, and in an emergency, you should call first.

Examples of situations where you might feel like, “I need help right now…” include:
- Severe pain from a cavity or wisdom tooth, or sudden swelling
- Hitting, chipping, or loosening a tooth from a fall or sports injury
- A temporary tooth has come off
- Bleeding that concerns you (such as bleeding that is hard to stop)
Things like that.
What to do before going is simple: “Call first”

- First, call: 0798-65-1971
- Briefly explain your symptoms (pain/swelling/when it started/where you hit it, etc.)
- Visit the clinic according to their instructions

This is Director Kodama, who’s always sharing all kinds of helpful info, from dental matters to ACTA.
Access is directly connected to Nishikita. Cars are OK too (parking service available)

Finally
Dental trouble during the New Year holidays is both shocking and scary. Just knowing there’s a dental clinic that’s open can make a huge difference in peace of mind. That said, many other clinics are closed during this period, so it’s easy for things to get crowded, and emergency patients take top priority. For anything that isn’t urgent, try to schedule it for another time, and if you’re truly in trouble, remember: “Call first.”
