Abe Pediatric Dental
About
Abe Pediatric Dentistry, located in Yonago City, Tottori Prefecture, opened in 1992 as the first dental clinic specializing in pediatric care in the Sanin region. The clinic focuses exclusively on dental treatment for children, with a core philosophy centered on prevention, early detection of symptoms, and orthodontic treatment from childhood. It has long supported the dental health of children in the local community. The clinic places particular emphasis on realizing "treatment that isn't scary," prioritizing prevention through regular maintenance from an early age and providing care that minimizes the burden on young patients. Inside the clinic, thoughtful attention is given to creating a relaxing space for children, including seasonal changes to the ceiling of treatment rooms, waiting room wallpaper, and window-side décor. Infection control measures include aerosol precautions, disinfection and glove changes between each appointment, and appointment scheduling to avoid crowding. English-speaking support is available, and the clinic has introduced an online eligibility verification system that also supports health insurance use via My Number Card. Operating hours are from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 7:00 PM, with Thursdays and Sundays as regular closed days—though a flexible approach is taken whereby the clinic remains open on Thursdays during weeks that include a public holiday. The clinic offers convenient access by car, with a 5-space parking lot at the rear and a second parking area available.
