When Should I Take My Child to a Pediatric Dentist for the First Time?

We recommend bringing your child in by their first birthday, or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Starting early lets our team monitor development, prevent decay, and help your child build a positive relationship with dental care. Schedule a first visit by calling (808) 680-9411.

How Is a Pediatric Dentist Different From a General Dentist?

A pediatric dentist completes two to three additional years of specialty training focused on the oral health of infants, children, and adolescents. Our pediatric dentistry team is trained to manage the behavioral, developmental, and dental needs unique to younger patients, and our office environment and communication style reflect that focus.

What Can I Do If My Child Is Afraid of the Dentist?

Dental anxiety is common, and we are experienced in helping anxious patients feel comfortable. Our kid-friendly office and conscious sedation options, including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and intranasal sedation, can make treatment more manageable. We recommend a consultation to find the right approach for your child.

What Should I Do If My Child Has a Dental Emergency?

Contact our office as soon as possible. Our team handles urgent situations including knocked-out teeth, severe toothaches, extractions, and baby root canals. Reach us via our emergency dental care page.

Pediatric Conscious Sedation

We provide several methods of pediatric conscious sedation, including inhalation, intranasal, and oral sedation. If your child feels anxious about dental visits, our oral or intra-nasal sedation along with nitrous oxide option may help your child during dental treatment. Depending on the extent of dental treatment need, more than one sedation visit may be necessary. It offers the benefit of possible partial or complete amnesia meaning that your child may not remember all or part of the treatment visit. While conscious sedation does not guarantee tearless dental visit, it would help alleviate dental anxiety and possibly more pleasant dental experience for your child. Sedation results vary. Please call our office for a consultation!
