Prevention
 Prevention is the key to a healthy and beautiful smile, especially for children. At Oahu Pediatric Dentistry, we specialize in several preventive services to help your child maintain excellent oral health.
Preventive Dentistry

Age 1 to 2 Visits
Many times, parents do not know when they should take start taking their child to the pediatric dentist. It is recommended that you take your kid to the dentist immediately when they develop their first tooth. Alternatively, you should bring the child to the dentist within the first two years even if the tooth hasn't come in.

Baby Teeth Matter
The American Dental Association (ADA) states that a child should receive a professional evaluation by their first birthday, or by the time their first tooth erupts. Proper infant dental care can prevent early instances of tooth decay and gum disease. It also helps us catch and correct development issues before they cause major problems for their permanent teeth.
