It’s never too early to start maintaining good oral hygiene habits, but everyone’s dental needs change as they age. A kids’ dentist who specializes in pediatric dentistry knows how to treat the most common dental issues that arise in children. At Pedodontic Associates on Oahu and Maui, you’ll find the best pediatric dentists in Hawaii.

Here are four reasons to bring your children to a kids’ dentist as opposed to a general dentist:

  • Friendliness: Going to the dentist can be scary for young children. In fact, there are many adults who fear going to the dentist as well. At Pedodontic Associates, the staff is warm and friendly, and they know how to put children at ease the moment they enter the office.
  • kids' dentistPatience: Some people are better at working with children, and some are better at relating to adults. It takes someone with a lot of patience to treat kids because they are not always cooperative or agreeable, especially if they are frightened. An experienced kids’ dentist knows how to make the appointment fun and easy from start to finish.
  • Experience: When children have habits like thumb sucking or pacifier use, it may affect their oral hygiene in a negative way. A pediatric dentist knows how to minimize the impact these habits have and will show parents how to replace them with better ones.
  • Familiarity: Many children are scared of the unknown. If you bring your children to the same pediatric dentist for every appointment, they will become more comfortable at each visit and may even start looking forward to seeing their dentist.
