A new dentist's office is opening in Akihabara, the otaku heart of Tokyo, in July. Or course there is more to it than that, though, or we would not be interested! What makes this dentist's office special is that its employees are a unique kind of staff member - maids.Akihabara is already a Mecca for otaku all around Japan and the rest of the world, too. The neighborhood is full of shops selling electronics, anime goods, gaming gear, and manga everywhere you look. There are several huge game centers with prizes to be worn and games to play.RELATED: The Maid I Hired Recently Is Mysterious Anime Airing in JulyOne of the things Akihabara is most famous for with visitors is its huge amount of maid cafés. These cafés feature cute young women in maid costumes who call customers “master,” all the while serving cute food, dancing, singing, and interacting with visitors. The streets of Akihabara are often lined with these maids trying to tempt people into their cafés.

Many otaku love visiting maid cafés, which have become part of the culture in Akihabara and beyond. There are even anime about them, the most famous being Maid Sama!, or The Class President is a Maid. Maid cafés know that otaku makes up the majority of their clientele, and pander to that with the style of music playing, how the interiors and costumes are designed, and even how food is presented.

But a dentist's office themed after a maid café is entirely new! Akiba Shika, or Akiba Dental Clinic (Akiba is the shortened version of Akihabara), will have dental hygienists and receptionists wearing maid costumes, not unlike those seen in typical cafés. The clinic’s Twitter advertises the chance to practice brushing with your favorite staff member, not unlike being able to take a photo with your favorite maid at a café (though the dentist office did offer limited photos with its staff early in June during an open house, too!).

If you’re wondering whether Akiba Shika is just a fun experience or something real, it’s the latter. It is a genuine dentistry practice, where patients can be treated for very real problems or get their teeth cleaned. The big difference between Akiba Shika and your average dentist's office is that your teeth are going to be cleaned by a cute maid rather than an ordinary nurse.

For otaku who may shy away from visiting the dentist, Akiba Shika will likely have them looking forward to their next appointment. It looks like Akihabara is going to be conquering bad breath and bad teeth, one mouth at a time, using the power of maids at Akiba Shika.
