Dental Hygienist Nakashima

When I was in high school, I practiced kendo at the same dojo as the director of the clinic. He once told me, “You’d make a great dental hygienist,” and although I wasn’t very confident at the time, I decided to give it a try. Thanks to the support of my parents and family, I enrolled in Kyushu Welfare and Medical Vocational School and obtained my dental hygienist license.

As a student, I worked part-time for three years, and after graduation, I began working as a dental hygienist. I’ve been working at Kuranoe Ichimaru Dental Clinic for about nine years now in total.

Our treatments focus mainly on preventive care and periodontal therapy. We see one patient per hour, which allows us to take our time and provide thorough care. Seeing patients recover steadily through treatment, and maintain their oral health over 10 or even 20 years through regular maintenance, is truly impressive. Many of our patients are kind, and I often receive words of encouragement and gratitude from them. It always makes me feel glad that I became a dental hygienist.

Of course, there are times when taking on more challenging tasks can be tough. But I always work things out by discussing them with my fellow hygienists—both seniors and juniors—as well as the director, the deputy director, and our reception staff.

I sincerely hope you’ll consider joining us at Kuranoe Ichimaru Dental Clinic and work together with us to support our patients.

Dental Hygienist Takehara

My name is Takehara, and I work as a dental hygienist at Kuranoe Ichimaru Dental Clinic.
Since my student days, I have always wanted to pursue a profession where I could contribute to people’s health through specialized services.
It was during this time that I learned about the role of a “dental hygienist,” a profession with a clear goal of solving oral diseases, preventing recurrence, and focusing on prevention. I found it very appealing.
I then dedicated myself to studying every day to obtain the necessary qualifications, which led me to where I am today.

During my job search after becoming qualified, I was looking for a workplace that aligned with my envisioned career path.
That’s when I encountered Kuranoe Ichimaru Dental Clinic, a place where I could expect to improve my knowledge and skills as a dental hygienist.
My first visit to the clinic was for a workplace tour.
At that time, I was overwhelmed by the high level of knowledge and technical skills demonstrated by the dental hygienists I observed.
During the interview, I was also informed that the clinic had an educational system in place to gradually help new employees learn and improve their knowledge and practical skills as dental hygienists. This gave me the confidence to decide on joining the clinic.

In my first year, there was so much to learn and many first-time experiences that it was quite challenging. However, each time I faced something I didn’t understand, my senior colleagues were always there to teach and support me.
From my second year onward, I gradually began to apply what I had learned in practice and was able to take more proactive steps in my work.
At Kuranoe Ichimaru Dental Clinic, we place a strong emphasis on preventive dentistry, and every day is filled with learning and new discoveries.
Now in my fourth year at the clinic, I believe we have a great environment where one can work long-term.

For future dental hygienists joining our clinic, I hope to be someone who can pass on the knowledge I’ve gained and offer solid support.
As a dental hygienist, I also want to build a relationship with patients where we can cooperate and discuss the best treatments and preventive care tailored to each individual.

At our clinic, we focus heavily on the prevention of tooth decay and periodontal disease.
If you’re a dental hygienist who wants to go beyond routine care and learn individualized treatment and prevention strategies—or if you’re simply curious about Kuranoe Ichimaru Dental Clinic—why not come and work with us?
We look forward to meeting you.

Dental Hygienist, Kiwako Ogawa

In our clinic, we focus on preventive dental care because we aim for our patients to enjoy eating with their own teeth throughout their lifetime.

For each patient, we allocate one hour of treatment time to provide thorough care. After examination and diagnosis, we create a treatment plan that includes periodontal basic treatment and maintenance. There are many tasks in this treatment process that dental hygienists are involved in.

Dental hygienists study for three years at a dental hygienist school and obtain a national qualification to work in this field. However, even though the position of dental hygienist is becoming more established, I feel that there are still many dental hygienists who can only perform assistant-like tasks, which is a waste.

Of course, in the first year, it's not possible to handle difficult tasks immediately, so we gradually master things like examination techniques and assisting in treatments. As the years go by, you will become a competent dental hygienist who can perform the job with confidence. We also actively participate in conferences and make presentations. Engaging with external medical institutions expands our perspectives. Above all, the most enjoyable aspect is being able to work while witnessing the improvement and oral health of our patients. It is a highly rewarding environment.

We are looking for individuals who can work hard with us.

Dental Hygienist Machiko Tejima

When I first joined the company, I started working as a full-time employee, but after going through pregnancy and childbirth, I am currently working as a part-time employee. Many of my friends who work as dental hygienists leave their jobs after giving birth, but at Ichimaru Dental, we have a supportive environment that makes it easy to take maternity and childcare leave, allowing me to feel at ease during pregnancy and childbirth.

Even after returning to work, there are times when I need to take sudden leave due to my child's illness or other reasons. However, when I come back to work the next day, everyone, including the clinic director and staff, shows concern by asking, "Is your child okay?" They understand my situation and reassure me, even though I feel sorry for suddenly taking time off. At times like these, I realize how fortunate I am to be working at Ichimaru Dental, where the work environment and staff are so supportive.

Even after marriage and childbirth, Ichimaru Dental provides a comfortable working environment. Why don't you consider working at Ichimaru Dental with us?
