Hayama Kodomo no Tame no Haisha-san Pediatric Dental & Orthodontics
About
Located in Nagara, Hayama Town, Miura District, Kanagawa Prefecture, this dental clinic is headed by a pediatric dentist certified by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and offers orthodontic treatment as one of its specialties. Certified pediatric dentists represent approximately 1% of all dentists in Japan, a limited qualification granted to dentists who meet strict requirements: over five years of academic society membership, over five years of clinical experience at university-affiliated hospitals, case report presentations, and passing a rigorous examination. The clinic accepts patients from birth and not only provides treatment but also preventive dentistry, preventive orthodontics, and dietary education, aiming to help children develop healthy bodies that form the foundation for long and healthy lives. To reduce patient waiting time, the clinic has introduced an automated reservation system that accepts bookings via smartphones and computers. The clinic employs medical safety managers and infection control managers, meeting facility standards for medical safety prevention and infection control additions. The clinic has established a system for rapid collaboration with partner medical institutions and also provides home dental care, orthodontic diagnosis, and examinations for sleep-related bruxism. Medical DX initiatives including online eligibility verification and online billing are also implemented.
