Going to the dentist for the first time can be a challenging experience for a child, but we know how to make it comfortable. You should schedule an appointment immediately if your child has a swollen jaw, fractured tooth, or some other kind of dental emergency. The Kuhio Pediatric Dental team is excited to be working with Doctor Leone. We look forward to continuing to provide great care and service to our Keiki and their families on Kaua'i.
We are committed to making sure your children are completely comfortable, and feel at home at our office. If there is anything that our staff can do to make your visit more pleasant, please let us know. Staff was very polite, helpful and accommodating! My 4 year old daughter was alittle skeptical before walking in, but they made her feel so comfortable she was able to get in and out with no problems!
We loved the customer service, they let my children color with markers and books while they were waiting which were not long. The dental assistant was very attentive and the doctor's verbiage to one of my daughters were very nice.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that a "Dental Home" should be established for your child by one year of age.
We recommend that your child visits our office when you notice the first teeth appearing and no later than their 1st birthday.
A visit to the dentist should be a positive experience.
First, start by explaining in a positive way to your child all about their teeth and how to take care of them.
You can also play "pretend dentist visit" using a toothbrush and counting your child's teeth.

What's a pediatric dentist?
Pediatric dentists receive two to three years of specialty training after dental school, making them particularly adept at providing dental care to infants, children, and adolescents.
When will my baby start teething?
Every child is different.
For some babies, their teeth erupt early.
For others, their teeth come in later.
Usually, the lower anterior teeth are the first teeth to appear, and this happens at 6 - 8 months.
When should I take my child to the dentist for their first check-up?
