What Sets Our Pediatric Dentists Apart?
A board-certified pediatric dentist brings two or more additional years of specialty training beyond dental school.

That depth of expertise can make a meaningful difference in how your child experiences dental care now and for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Dentistry in Honolulu, HI
At What Age Should My Child First See a Pediatric Dentist in Honolulu?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child's first visit by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Starting this early allows Dr. Do to monitor jaw development, check for early decay, and guide parents on home care habits that can last a lifetime.
How Is a Pediatric Dentist Different From a General Dentist?
A pediatric dentist completes specialized post-doctoral training focused entirely on the dental needs of infants, children, and adolescents. This includes behavioral techniques to help anxious patients, age-appropriate communication skills, and clinical experience managing developing teeth and jaws. General dentists may treat children, but a pediatric specialist brings dedicated expertise and an office environment built around kids.
Does Keiki Dental Accept Dental Insurance in Hawaii?
Keiki Dental works with a range of dental insurance plans. We encourage you to contact our office directly at (808) 680-9411 to confirm your specific coverage before scheduling. Our team can help clarify what your plan may cover so there are fewer surprises at your visit.
How Do I Prepare My Child for Their First Dental Visit?
Simple steps at home can make a big difference. Talk about the appointment in positive, friendly terms. Read books or play pretend dentist together so the experience feels familiar. Plan something fun afterward as a small reward. Bringing a favorite stuffed animal or comfort item may also help your child feel more at ease in the chair.
Does Keiki Dental Offer Sedation Options for Anxious Children?
Yes. For children who feel nervous or require more involved treatment, Keiki Dental offers several pediatric sedation methods, which may include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), intranasal sedation, and oral conscious sedation. Dr. Do and our team will discuss the most appropriate option based on your child's needs and treatment plan.
