Overview

System of Treatment
In order for patients to fully utilize the advantages of the dental care unit attached to the Department of Neuropsychiatry, patients will first be seen as an outpatient by a Support Doctor to assess the mental aspect of the patient before receiving treatment in the dental care unit.
Treatment Policy
The first Chinese character for the word "patient" is a combination of the characters for "heart" and "skewer" - meaning piercing the heart with a skewer. We try to provide treatment by listening to what the patient's heart says based on our cherished motto, "The doctor's role is to remove the skewer - he cause of pain".
Expertise
Preventative dentistry, occlusal dentistry, dental sleep medicine.
Other Information
When the cause of a problem is identified, a patient experiences relief when they find that the cause is not so serious. We provide treatment from the mental and physical (mouth) aspects.
