Plenty of adults may have bad memories of going to the dentist as a child; not many enjoy the experience of fillings, root canals, or even simply cleanings. So it’s important to take the time to choose the best children’s dentist for your kids. The friendly dentists at  Pedodontic Associates—with locations on Oahu and Maui—specialize in pediatric dentistry, with years of experience providing dental care for children and teenagers, from their first tooth to their wisdom teeth.

Pediatric dentistry is almost more complicated than typical adult dentistry. Pediatric dentists must have training in child psychology and understand how to create a welcoming environment for children. To choose the right dentist for your kid, be sure to ask for referrals from their pediatrician or from family and friends with kids. Look for dentist offices that have kid-friendly details like a waiting room with toys and books, fun toothbrushes and cheerful colors. These details can put children at ease and make the experience more pleasant. 

Pedodontic Associates has special activities just for kids like motivational charts to help them learn to brush their teeth every day and coloring books to help them look forward to their appointments. If your child has any special needs, ask any potential dentists how they can accommodate your child and if they have experience with such children.

By choosing the right children’s dentist, you’ll help your child learn to enjoy dentist appointments, helping them develop a lifetime of good habits. To learn if Pedodontic Associates is right for your child, call the Aiea office at (808) 487-7933, the Honolulu office at (808) 735-1733, and the Kahului office at (808) 877-0066
