Your Child's First Visit

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that children see a Pediatric Dentist before their first birthday or when their first teeth come in. Dental problems can begin early and we know children need healthy teeth to speak and chew food! Please schedule with any pediatric dentist near you.

Meet You and Your Child

The first step is to meet you and your child! We'll ask a couple of basic questions regarding your child's oral health and answer any questions you may have. You're welcome to accompany your child throughout their appointment.

Exam and Cleaning

Depending how old your child is, exams usually involve looking around the gums, teeth, jaws, and bite for healthy growth and development. Your child's visit also includes a gentle cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and stains.

Schedule Your Next Appointment

If your child's teeth are healthy, you'll schedule another visit in six months. If something was found, your dentist will provide recommendations and help you schedule a follow-up appointment.

Patient Reviews

  • I have brought my children to many different dentists over the years but Dr Yamada at Hawaii Family Dental Kauai is the BEST. He is so patient and very caring. From my older children, all the way down to my 4yo, he reassures them and walks them through everything that's happening. He constantly encourages them and praises them during the entire visit. He is awesome!!!

  • After having an awful experience at another dentist with my son, we came here and couldn’t be happier. My son, 4 and daughter, 2 have been excited to go to the dentist since we started coming to this practice. Christopher Yamada was so lovely and we were in and out fast! I love when professionals know how to deal with children and make them feel comfortable. Thanks you guys!

  • My daughter hated the dentist, but because of the amazing staff at HFD, especially Dr. Chris, my daughters experience is now a good one. Dr. Chris shows she cared for my daughters healthy smile as well as her feelings to make she sure was okay every step of the way! We’ve gone through MANY dentist, and this one is by far the best one!
