Education
Just Kidz Dentistry is committed to promoting oral health through education and outreach in our community. Since 2003, we have provided engaging, hands-on learning experiences that teach children of all ages the importance of proper dental care and preventive practices. By partnering with local schools, organizations and community events, we strive to empower people with the knowledge and tools they need to maintain healthy smiles for life. Reach out to our team for more details or to invite us to come to your child’s school!
Supporting Local Causes
We proudly support the Peoria PlayHouse Children’s Museum by participating in their annual
Be Anything Career Event. Our team also helped create and continues to support the Tot Town Dental Office
exhibit located on the museum’s lower level.
We partner with Crittenton Centers by supporting their annual community events, including the
Stocking Stuffer Store and the Baby Brunch, helping families and children across Central Illinois.
