German-speaking dentists, city by city

Where these came from

These come from 38 different sources, led by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (65), a German diplomatic mission (18) and a German diplomatic mission (14). A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, which is why German turns up in 33 countries rather than only where German is spoken.

203 of the 208 sit on an official list; the rest rest on the provider saying so or on a directory listing, and each card says which.

Where we have nothing

We list dentists in 138 further cities with no German speaker recorded, among them Hiroshima (170), Sendai (123), Kumamoto (109) and Nagasaki (79). That is a gap in what has been published, not proof that nobody there works in German.

Questions

How many German-speaking dentists does this page list?

208, in 57 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source.

Where are most of them?

Athens with 18, Sapporo with 17 and Tokyo with 13. Together that is 23% of the page.

Does a listing mean the dentist speaks German personally?

Not always. Some sources name a practice whose staff include a German speaker rather than the named person, and each card quotes the wording its source used.

All 195 cities where we list dentists, whatever the language.
