About Us

Your child’s smile is an important part of their overall health and wellbeing – from birth all the way through adolescence. The Children’s Dental Center was founded with a focus on prevention. Dr. Kane will partner with you to protect your child’s smile now and for the future.

Experience a fun-filled and worry-free atmosphere for kids of all ages. From the moment your child walks through our door and meets our official mascot, Jacques the Peacock, he or she will be made welcome and comfortable.
