No more fear of the dentist! Extend your healthy lifespan with our new preventative dental treatment, "oral disinfection"!

What is the number one thing you regret losing?

In a survey conducted by a certain organization among senior citizens, when asked "What do you regret losing?", what do you think ranked first? Surprisingly, over 60% of respondents answered "teeth," beating out "hair" and "physique." This revealed that many seniors felt their teeth were deteriorating while they were still working, and many expressed regret, saying, "I wish I had had regular dental checkups." Despite the fact that retirement finally gives seniors the freedom to travel and enjoy delicious meals at their leisure, a significant number of seniors are troubled by dental problems, which causes them considerable stress.

The leading cause of tooth loss among Japanese people is periodontal disease, with approximately 80% of Japanese adults being either patients with periodontal disease or at risk of developing it. While many people have the impression that Japan is an advanced country in terms of medical care, there is a practicing dentist who laments that "Japanese people have low awareness and interest in dental care, at the lowest level among developed countries," and warns that Japan is currently a "backward country in dental care." He is implementing reforms by conducting his own unique oral disinfection treatment at his clinic. The teeth you have lost will never come back. If you are complacent thinking, "I brush my teeth, so it's okay," "It doesn't hurt," or "It doesn't smell," don't you hear the saying, "Regret comes too late"? It's not too late. To acquire the correct knowledge, let's listen to what Dr. Kenichi Nebuka, a practicing dentist who advocates oral disinfection treatment, has to say.

Everyone will surely come to love going to the dentist!?

I wonder if there's anyone who actually likes going to the dentist. At least, I don't know anyone like that around me. Many people have painful experiences with cavity treatments in their childhood, or they remember the unfamiliar sounds of the machines, the unique smell, and the scary faces of dentists. The dentist is not a good memory, and it's often etched in their memories as a frightening experience, even as children. Dr. Kenichi Nebuka, whom I interviewed this time, says this: "I have never met a patient who says, 'I like going to the dentist.' Many people especially dislike pain. That's why at our clinic, we are committed to pain-free treatment and pay close attention to pain. For example, when administering anesthesia, we first apply an anesthetic cream to numb the surface, and then use a computer-controlled machine with a very fine needle to slowly inject the anesthetic without applying pressure. The anesthesia is administered in several small doses. Taking time is the best way to avoid pain; injecting all at once with a thick needle creates pressure and causes pain. Furthermore, for those who dislike dentists, we also actively use intravenous sedation, where treatment is completed while the patient is asleep." "It's like the treatment was over before you even realized it." This frees you not only from pain, but also from the fear of the sounds of treatment and the discomfort of keeping your mouth open for extended periods, allowing for focused treatment.

"We limit the number of patients we see per day to 5 to 10. Our goal is to provide high-quality treatment in a high-quality environment, with a spirit of hospitality," says Dr. Nebuka. His clinic exudes an atmosphere reminiscent of a room in a first-class hotel, and the completely private examination rooms offer views of the greenery of Kioicho from the windows, making it seem as if one can calm their mind and concentrate on their treatment.

Born in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture in 1968. Graduated from Iwate Medical University School of Dentistry in 1995. Doctor of Dental Science. Former professor at Tsurumi University School of Dentistry. Alongside his clinical practice, which focuses on implant treatment, he traveled to Europe and America from 2000 to study cutting-edge implant and bone regeneration treatments. In December 2005, he opened Kioicho Plaza Clinic as a pioneer of medical-dental collaboration clinics, with the theme of "anti-aging and beauty." Currently, he is researching and advocating "oral disinfection" aimed at promoting overall beauty and health starting from the oral environment.

Surprisingly, 80-90% of bad breath is caused by periodontal disease.”

Dr. Nebuka explains that approximately 80-90% of cases of bad breath that persists despite daily brushing are caused by "periodontal bacteria." In fact, he says that Japanese people have one of the strongest rates of bad breath in the world. While many Japanese people appear clean, their awareness of oral care is so low that many who suffer from "periodontal bacteria" are concerned about bad breath. Bad breath caused by "periodontal disease" is only temporarily relieved by the use of bad breath remedies, and it is actually important to treat the root cause. "Periodontal bacteria" can have a significant negative impact on overall health, not only causing tooth loss, but also being linked to diabetes, stroke, myocardial infarction, cancer, pneumonia, and recently, even dementia. Many people mistakenly believe that "it doesn't apply to me," but "periodontal disease" tends to worsen without causing pain, and the condition progresses unnoticed. It is also true that people often don't notice their own bad breath. While mask-wearing increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, now that mask-wearing is no longer mandatory, take off your mask and make sure to properly check your breath before appearing in public. Take care of the "periodontal bacteria," which are the root cause of bad breath.

Aim for！Normalization of oral bacterial balance

"At our clinic, we are currently focusing most on oral sterilization treatment. There are 500 to 700 types of bacteria in the mouth, which can be divided into beneficial and harmful bacteria, and each individual has their own unique oral microbiota (oral flora). It is said that the balance of these bacteria is related to oral health and, by extension, overall health and beauty. When harmful bacteria become dominant, bad breath occurs, and "periodontal disease bacteria" increase, leading to the progression of periodontal disease without any noticeable symptoms, and tooth loss. By eliminating "periodontal disease bacteria" and "cavity-causing bacteria," we reduce harmful bacteria and increase beneficial bacteria."MeDeS® Oral Disinfection ProgramThis treatment is gaining popularity. Many patients who have received the treatment report that their bad breath has disappeared and that their mouths no longer feel sticky when they wake up. Some people have clean teeth but poor oral bacteria levels, while others have dirty teeth due to leftover plaque but no oral bacteria. Oral bacteria can be reduced to some extent by brushing and professional cleaning at the dentist, but they cannot be completely removed. As a result, even with brushing and treatment, cavities and periodontal disease keep recurring.

What is the MeDeS® oral disinfection program?

"The treatments we offer at our hospital"MeDeS® Oral Disinfection ProgramThe process involves "examination → sterilization treatment → re-examination." First, the state of oral bacteria is analyzed using blood and plaque collected from within the periodontal pocket. By viewing them under a microscope, you can see the oral bacteria with your own eyes. Then, a bad breath test is performed by collecting and analyzing gases from the mouth. In addition, the collected blood and saliva are analyzed by an external testing laboratory for scientific verification. A wide range of other tests are also performed, including CT imaging and blood tests, and once the test results are available, sterilization treatment begins. During sterilization treatment, stains and tartar are removed and the tongue is cleaned, while a special machine is used...MeDeS®A machine treatment that sprays with a special mouthpieceMeDeS®We use 3DS, which penetrates the teeth and gums, to disinfect the inside of the mouth. Finally, we check how effective the treatment has been through a follow-up examination. This process of scientific examination → disinfection treatment → follow-up examination is commonplace in medical practice, but not so common in dentistry. At our clinic, we place great importance on thoroughly confirming the effectiveness of the treatment by conducting a follow-up examination as a final check.

Features of the MeDeS® Oral Disinfection Program

Developed over 15 years through a collaborative effort between dental universities, clinicians, and companies, the Medes® Oral Bacteria Elimination Program offers personalized preventive programs based on dental checkup results. The program aims to improve oral flora by eliminating harmful bacteria, increasing beneficial bacteria, and re-evaluating the oral environment through Medes® Oral Bacteria Elimination Treatment.

Infiltration into biofilm

Caries-causing bacteria and periodontal disease-causing bacteria are protected by a strong film called biofilm. Regular brushing and scaling (tartar removal) cannot penetrate this biofilm. Because Medes® has a small molecular weight, it can penetrate the biofilm and reliably eliminate bacteria inside.

High germ-killing power

Because it has a high bactericidal power that destroys bacterial DNA, it does not cause antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which is a problem with antibiotics, even with long-term use. In addition, a double bactericidal effect can be expected from the bactericidal effect of functional water and the bactericidal effect of the additive components.

It causes less pain and discomfort, and does not damage the tooth surface.

Traditional dental cleaning methods have been problematic due to pain, discomfort, and damage (wear) to the tooth surface caused by mechanical cleaning. GBT (Induced Biofilm Therapy) removes biofilm more comfortably without damaging the tooth surface.

safety

Preventing chronic conditions such as tooth decay, periodontal disease, and bad breath requires long-term care. Medes® has extremely low cytotoxicity and will not harm the body even with daily, long-term use.

The effects are easy to understand.

By visually and scientifically comparing the situation before and after the Medes® oral sterilization treatment through dental checkups and follow-up examinations, the effectiveness is easily understood, and the clinic director takes ample time to provide thorough counseling.

Abundant evidence

There is a wealth of evidence (medical basis) backed by numerous papers, conference presentations, and approximately 10 years of clinical application. Clinical research continues to this day by various research institutions.

Patented in 7 countries, including Japan.

We hold patents in Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Macau.
