Dental checkup at a world-class university in the field of dentistry 

Overall health begins with good dental and oral health.  

Make regular checkups a part of your routine, rather than rushing to the dentist only after a toothache. 

A survey shows that the number one health regret of people entering old age is “I should have had regular dental checkups（※） 

Poor dental health can lead to loss of appetite, which not only reduces the enjoyment of food, but also compromises overall nutritional status. Decreased stimulation of the brain due to masticatory dysfunction is also said to cause dementia. 

Instead of rushing to the dentist after a toothache, it is important to take good care of your teeth in order to live a long and healthy life. Since it is difficult to take complete care of your teeth on your own, it is recommended that you receive professional care on a regular basis.
