| Summary: | Abstract. Purpose. Based on Foucault’s theory of spatial power, we discuss its application and inspiration in the interior design of dental clinics and propose design strategies to achieve power balance and optimisation, to create a better dental treatment environment. Methodology. Based on Foucault’s theory of spatial power, using literature analysis, case study and interdisciplinary research methods, the indoor space of a dental clinic is analysed to reveal the mechanisms and effects of power operation and to propose design enhancement strategies. Results. The paper analyses the subjects and objects of power in the interior space of dental clinics, describes the power relationship in the spatial layout, decoration and visual elements, and proposes a strategy to enhance the interior design of dental clinics based on Foucault’s theory of spatial power. Scientific novelty. Foucault’s theory of spatial power is applied to the field of dental clinic interior design, analysing the spatial design in depth from the perspective of power relations, providing new perspectives and ideas for research in this field. Practical significance. The proposed design strategy helps to achieve the balance and optimisation of spatial power in dental clinics, promotes the harmonious development of doctor-patient relationship, improves the quality of dental healthcare services, and has a guiding value for the practice of dental clinic interior design.
