Services

At Kidzone Dentistry, we offer a comprehensive range of dental services tailored to meet the unique needs of our young patients. Our philosophy is a commitment to preventive dentistry and to creating a supportive and nurturing environment for our patients. We provide safe, comfortable, and quality dental treatment for all of our patients while avoiding the use of fear-inducing terminology.

Our services include:

X-Rays

The use of dental radiographs, or X-Rays, allows us to detect dental problems early before serious damage is done to your child's teeth, gums, and supporting bone and structures. X-Rays are a crucial part of a comprehensive dental oral examination.

Local Anesthesia

If dental treatment is necessary, we may use local anesthesia, Novacain, to ensure your child's comfort during the procedure. We will review the advantages and disadvantages of using local anesthesia with you before obtaining parental/guardian consent.
