Born and raised in Honolulu and a graduate of Punahou school, Dr. Jason Ching pursued his dream to be a student athlete at Brown University, followed by dental training at the University of Pacific, and certification in pediatric dentistry at Tufts University. Dr. Jason and his highly skilled team at Oahu Pediatric Dentistry believe in providing safe and comfortable clinical experiences.

Dr. Jason is one of the few pediatric dentists in Hawaii who are trained in the first FDA-approved hard/soft tissue Solea dental laser. Utilizing the Solea dental laser eliminates the need for anesthetic shots, and the use of a drill for children with severe dental anxiety. Combined with his specialized training in laser soft tissue surgery, Dr. Jason treats congenital abnormalities such as Lip Tie and Tongue Tie to help children with impaired breastfeeding as well as compromised speech.

Dr. Lee also provides hospital dental services for children who have special needs or who cant be treated in office safely. He has two kids of his own.

In addition to her work at OPD, she is on the NYU faculty and chairs a subcommittee, teaching pediatric residents in leadership education in neurodevelopmental disabilities and special health care needs. She's also on the board for the Oral Health Coalition. Still, she says the awards that mean the most to her are the drawings she receives from kids after their visits. If shes not in the office, you can find her out surfing.
