Patient Reviews of Our Local Pediatric Dentist
Happy Smiles, Happy Parents!
Dr. Uchida is a very kind and caring Doc! He sees all 3 of my sons and they have no problem marching straight back to the office. When my youngest requires a filling he took great measures to ensure he was not afraid and performed the task as quickly as possible. We hope he never retires!!
Suzannah P.
My boys have been going to Dr. Uchida for 6 years, and we have always had positive experiences.
Sharie E.
My son has been going to the Uchidas for 16 years and always experienced friendly, caring, and professional care. I have found it helpful to know upfront of what services are covered by insurance and what will be my share if payment. You have the option of denying services that insurance will not cover. I also find it very convenient that there are offices in Pearl City and Kahala.

J. Long
My son has been going to the Kahala mall location since he was very young. He is 16yrs old now. Dr. Clyde Uchida has been very professional and informative. His staff is very friendly and efficient.

Just had our second checkup with Dr Uchida and team! My daughter loved both of her visits! Dr. Uchida was very entertaining and gentle! She especially loved giving high fives and fist bumps to everyone, including all of the aunties.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to what Hawaii parents ask us most about cost, insurance, first visits and emergencies.
Still have a question?
How much does a pediatric dentist visit cost in Hawaii?
The office does not publish a price list, so the cost of a visit depends on what your child needs, such as a checkup, cleaning, X-rays or treatment. Call (808) 739-0878 and the team can explain what to expect before you come in. For a longer guide, read our article on pediatric dentist costs in Hawaii.
When should my child have a first dental visit?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first dental visit within six months of the first tooth appearing, or by the first birthday. At a first visit the dentist looks at your child's teeth, gums and bite, and talks with you about brushing, feeding and fluoride. Read our first dental visit guide, or call to book.
Do you accept Medicaid (QUEST) and dental insurance?
Insurance and Med-QUEST participation can differ from plan to plan, so please call (808) 739-0878 before your visit and the team will check your child's coverage with you. For general information, Hawaii Med-QUEST (the state Medicaid program) offers a Children's Dental Program for members younger than 21.
What should I do if my child has a dental emergency?
For a toothache, facial swelling, a broken tooth or a mouth injury, call (808) 739-0878 and the team will guide you on next steps. If your child has swelling with fever, or has trouble breathing or swallowing, go to the nearest emergency room or call 911. Visiting Oahu? See our emergency pediatric dentist page.
