Our Kailua and Kaneohe offices provide specialized dental care for children and adolescents in a warm, caring and friendly environment. As pediatric dentists, our 2 years of additional specialty training after dental school has prepared us for the unique dental needs of each child we serve. Our skilled team is committed to providing our patients with compassionate and individualized care.
We provide care for infants, children, teens, and children with special health care needs. We believe that good dental care begins with open and honest communication. Dr. Maile S.C. Kim and Dr. Bren M. Chun will speak candidly with you about your child's oral health. Working together, we can achieve a true partnership, with one common goal - to guide our patients toward a lifetime of good oral health.
During our closure we researched extensively to find the necessary steps to keep our patients and staff safe. Due to the size of our waiting room we are requesting only one adult (non-patient) be present in the waiting room with their child (patient).

Dr. Maile Kim was born and raised in Kailua, Hawai'i.
She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Pacific Union College and upon graduation decided to follow in her father's footsteps Dr.
Howard Y.B. Kim and pursue a career in dentistry.
She says, I learned the value of caring for others by seeing him 'talk story' with his patients.
His communication style was honest, straight forward, but filled with compassion.
He was my mentor and best friend so it was natural for me to follow in his footsteps.

Compassion: We believe each child is a special individual and should be treated with care and kindness.
Education: We believe knowing the why can motivate and empower the individual to implement the how and accomplish the what.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a "Dental Home" for your child by one year of age.
Children who have a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine oral health care.
Your child's first visit with us is all about you child's comfort, happiness, and dental health.
Our entire team strives to make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive.

Most pediatric dentists will agree that regular dental care should begin by one year of age, with a dental check-up at least twice each consecutive year for most children.
Some children may need more frequent evaluations and care.
Follow the schedule of dental examinations and cleanings, as recommended by your child's pediatric dentist.
Generally, dental examinations and cleanings are recommended every 6 months for children and adults.
Brushing with a small amount of fluoride toothpaste (smear or portion the size of a grain of rice) is appropriate at age 2.
