Kawamura Sika

Kawamura Sika is a neighborhood dental clinic in Suginami’s Momoi area — the kind of place that’s been quietly taking care of local teeth for years without making a big fuss about it. It’s a general dentistry practice, so you’re covered for cleanings, fillings, extractions, and the usual stuff that keeps your mouth from falling apart while you’re living abroad.

For English speakers, the situation is workable. Staff have conversational English, which means you can get through an appointment without pulling out a translation app every five minutes. Don’t expect a fully bilingual experience, but basic explanations of what’s happening in your mouth and what needs to happen next — that’s manageable here.

The Momoi area is residential and low-key, a bit removed from the big Suginami hubs, so check the address before assuming it’s a quick walk from somewhere obvious. If you’re already living in that part of Suginami, this is a solid local option.
