Good oral hygiene is essential for maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile. That’s why it’s so important to take care of your teeth from an early age. As the leading pediatric dentistry practice on Oahu and Maui, Pedodontic Associates has been providing high-quality dental care to children and adolescents for over 25 years. Their dentists are committed to the prevention, early detection, and treatment of dental diseases. Whether your little one needs an appointment for a routine checkup or immediate medical attention for a dental emergency, their staff will ensure that your child receives gentle, effective treatments for all of their oral care needs.

Pedodontic Associates is dedicated to restoring and maintaining your child’s dental health. They encourage patients to visit the dentist twice a year to receive proper preventative treatments for their teeth. Here are a few reasons why children should see their pediatric dentist regularly: 

• Protecting Teeth: Routine dental checkups are essential for the early detection of tooth decay and dental disease. You should schedule a preventative exam and teeth cleaning for your child every six months.

• Examining Developing Teeth: The pediatric dentist will examine your child’s teeth to ensure that everything is developing properly. They will also make recommendations for fluoride treatments as needed. Lastly, the dentist will teach your child how to brush and floss their teeth correctly.

• Reducing Stress & Anxiety: If your child feels anxious about going to the dentist, it’s a good idea to get them used to the process while they’re still young. By visiting the dentist twice a year, your child will have an easier time adapting to the dental office environment.
