A dental clinic for people with mental and physical disabilities opened inside a health care center in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, in April. It aims to serve patients who find it difficult to visit regular dentists.
The clinic will be open once a week. It is still establishing itself, but patients who had nowhere to go have welcomed it as they have been waiting for such a service for a long time.
The clinic has three treatment chairs and can see up to 18 patients a day. It received 13 in April.
