Dr. Jordan Takaki enjoys his role as a general dentist, helping teenagers and young adults through their dental journey. “We encourage, empower, and help our patients improve their oral health,” he says, “whether it’s through education, role playing or actively fixing problems, we meet patients and families where they are.”

Dr. Takaki’s primary goal is to provide the information and support about dietary changes and proper oral hygiene practices needed to navigate teenage independence and freedom. By being efficient, communicative, and prepared to help in any way necessary, Dr. Takaki builds relationships with his patients, the community, and other health professions that are built on trust and support.

He adds that the goal at Oahu Pediatric Dentistry is to create healthy habits and improve patients’ long-term outcomes — all while hopefully creating positive, lasting memories that will have them saying, “I remember going to that dentist, they were my favorite!”
