"My tooth hurts, but I have nowhere to leave my child."
"What if my child cries during treatment and bothers others?"
Many parents postpone dental visits due to such concerns.
Mitsukyo Ekimae Smile Dental in Seya Ward, Yokohama, has been providing an in-house childcare service since 2024, responding to feedback from parents with small children.
To create an environment where more people can focus on dental treatment with peace of mind, we have renovated the childcare room and increased the number of nursery staff. Additionally, the introduction page for our childcare service has been completely revamped.
■ Background of Childcare Service Expansion
In recent years, with the increase in dual-income households and changes in the child-rearing environment, the challenge of "being unable to visit the hospital because there's no one to look after the children" has become apparent.
Dental treatment, in particular, often requires continuous visits, and missing opportunities for treatment can lead to the progression or worsening of symptoms.
At our clinic, with the desire to be a "dentist for moms and kids where parents can visit with peace of mind even while raising children," we are committed to creating an environment where parents can focus on their treatment without worry.
■ Features of the Renovated Childcare Service
1. Establishment of a dedicated childcare room (newly built/improved environment)
We have established a dedicated childcare space designed with safety and comfort in mind, so children can spend their time with peace of mind. We have equipped it with age-appropriate play equipment and picture books, creating a relaxing environment.
2. Strengthening the acceptance system by increasing nursery staff
We have increased the number of qualified nursery staff to flexibly respond to parents' needs for hospital visits. This allows us to accept more children and improves the ease of making reservations.
3. Enhanced support system to focus on treatment
During treatment, our staff will responsibly look after your children, allowing parents to concentrate on their examination and treatment without worrying about their surroundings.
