When kids learn to take care of their teeth early on, they grow into healthier, happier adults. February is National Children’s Dental Health Month, and Hawai‘i Dental Service is celebrating with the 18th annual HDS Tooth Fairy Fun Day, which returns to Hawai‘i Children’s Discovery Center on Sunday, Feb. 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Going to the dentist can be a scary, intimidating event for some kids—but it doesn’t have to be! At the HDS Tooth Fairy Fun Day, kids will learn the importance of good dental habits in a comfortable and fun environment. There will be more than 10 educational activities and games this year, including two new exhibits—a dance class by HONOLULU Family and a parent resource table presented by the Hawai‘i Children’s Action Network—meaning an entire day of fun for your keiki! Bring the whole family to meet the HDS tooth fairy and enjoy activities, games and prizes, plus free dental screenings by a team of HDS-participating dentists. This is also a great opportunity for parents to ask dentists about their kid’s oral health and get answers to any questions about their Medicaid dental plan.

HDS will also be holding a healthy smile photo contest on Instagram during the event. Parents may enter by following @hawaiidentalservice on IG, share stories or posts on their public Instagram account and tag @hawaiidentalservice and #hdstoothfairy. Three winners will be selected randomly and notified after the event.
Admission to the 2024 HDS Tooth Fairy Fun is free for the first 500 HDS members, the first 500 Medicaid members, and their families. Don’t forget to bring your HDS membership card (visit hawaiidentalservice.com to access yours online). After the first 500, all HDS members and the general public will receive a special discounted $8 admission price for the Hawai‘i Children’s Discovery Center, courtesy of HDS.
The 2024 HDS Tooth Fairy Fun Day takes place on Sunday, Feb. 18, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Hawai‘i Children’s Discovery Center, 11 Ohe St., Honolulu, HI 96813. For more information, visit hdstoothfairy.com.
