Now that springtime is here, it's the time of the year many parents take some time off from work while their kids are free from school for Easter and spring break. Dr. Hirai and his staff at Pediatric Dentistry Kahala would like to share a few family-friendly spring activities taking place in Honolulu and the surrounding area, which we're confident our patients and their families will enjoy doing. Even though we specialize in children's dentistry in Honolulu and the Hawaii Kai area, we still like having fun and getting out and about as much as we can!
Visit the 'Hello From Japan' Exhibit at Children's Discover Center
From now through the middle of May, the Children's Discovery Center is proudly hosting the traveling exhibit called Hello From Japan. This playful and highly immersive exhibit invites kids to explore both the modern and traditional sides to Japanese culture where they can take part in activities like karaoke and bento making. More information about this exhibit can be found here.

We'd also like to send a friendly reminder to all you parents and caregivers about the importance of regular dental checkups for your children. Springtime it's a great time to contact us to set up an appointment us so we can provide your child with an oral exam and professional cleaning.
