Smile Zone

Smile Zone At Smile Zone, Dr. Gooch and Dr. Hudkins specialize in gentle, compassionate dental care for children of all ages. Thank you!

Our team is dedicated to creating positive dental experiences, whether its your child's very first visit or ongoing care. Be sure and put "Facebook" in the "who referred you?" slot of your paperwork if you liked our page and it encouraged you to make a new patient appointment! Everyone in our office is an excellent communicator with children—it's what we do all day long. We believe children can't be rushed and should be given all the time they need and deserve. That's why we apply a technique known as "Tell – Show – Do." We tell the child what we're going to do in terms they can easily understand, we demonstrate it to them, then we do it. The technique is as effective as it is simple.
