Many children struggle to keep their teeth clean. As adults, we need to teach our kids how to take proper care of their teeth and gums from an early age. The dental hygiene specialists at Pediatric Dental Group are dedicated to helping your kids achieve optimal oral health. Our friendly team has provided effective treatments for children in Hawaii since 1966. We will ensure that your child learns how to maintain a happy, healthy smile throughout the New Year.

Our dentists at Pediatric Dental Group know how important it is to provide quality dental care for young patients. Here are some of the services we offer: 

• Exams: Kids should visit their dentist regularly for check-ups. Their first appointment will include diagnostic x-rays. These x-rays are used to spot any tumors or cysts in the mouth. This procedure also makes it easier to examine teeth and root alignments. Lastly, the dentist will check your child’s teeth and gums to detect any signs of tooth decay or periodontal disease.

• Cleanings: Routine cleanings are especially important for your child. Brushing and flossing alone may not be enough to keep their teeth and gums healthy. Kids often have trouble brushing hard-to-reach areas in their mouth. Dental hygienists will provide thorough cleanings to remove stains, tartar, or plaque that has formed on the teeth.

• Fluoride Treatments: Children should receive fluoride treatments twice a year. The dentist will apply a topical fluoride to the surface of the teeth which will strengthen tooth enamel and reduce the risk for developing cavities.

Pediatric Dental Group is proud to offer effective dental treatments for kids. Our pediatric dentistry center provides gentle, personalized care for your child. To schedule an appointment, call (808) 593-8828 for our Honolulu office, or (808) 245-2131 for our Lihue office.
