About us

Yoshida has been serving dentists all over the country since then, providing essential devices, equipment,and advanced technologies, including panoramic X-ray machines, air scalers,lasers and dental cone beam CTs.

Lecture

  • The elderly account for 26.7% of the Japanese population (source: 2015, the Cabinet Office). The “8020 Campaign” promoted by the Japan Dental Association is a movement to keep at least 20 teeth by age 80. The efforts of the association have been fruitful, as 50.2% of the geriatric patients have achieved this goal in 2017.

    Although the percentage of caries amongst Japanese children have decreased, the incidence of mouth breathing due to narrow dental arch and problems with posture have increased.

  • The elderly have problems with caries and periodontal disease due to their increasing number of residual teeth, specifically like changes in taste perception caused by dry mouth or medically compromised patients who are homebound and/or are in need for home visit medical care.

    The future of dental care in Japan is shifting from children’s caries treatment to treatment for the elderly; from orthodontics and occlusal therapy to treatment and correction of complications from mouth breathing and bad postures. Dental treatment will not only be limited to treating the oral environment but also systemic diseases.

    What can dentistry do so that people can truly enjoy their meals with their healthy taste buds and five senses?
    A new style of dental treatment which may be experienced globally is in need in Japan. Innovative dental treatment modalities that our global community will encounter in the future, is indeed in demand in Japan now.

    Let’s create a new era of dentistry together with Yoshida.

    As a comprehensive dental manufacturing and trading company, Yoshida provides the latest information and products to dental universities, dental hygiene schools, dental technology schools, and dental offices.
