| Challenges are Us Kahana Family Dental Center provides many services that other general dentists often refer to specialists. For instance, we do nearly all root canals. Wisdom tooth extractions and many other oral surgery procedures are routinely done in-house. Dr. Ciancio has a background in sedative dentistry dating back to his St. Francis (Honolulu) Dental Internship in 1970-71. We take pride in our crown and bridge (functional and cosmetic) procedures. |

We use a rubber dam during root canals and some filling procedures adding an extra
measure of safety to you. Few people think of it in terms of infection control. Used
properly, the rubber dam effectively isolates your gums and saliva from our gloved hands
and instruments. It adds another barrier to microorganisms. The rubber dam also
prevents anything from going down your throat!

Yes, we do treat children! Kid's sense of curiosity and adventure provide enjoyable moments for our office.
Dr. Ciancio's pedodontic training includes working at KALIHI-PALAMA HEALTH CENTER. We have
seem children as young as one year old. However, we feel that age four is the right time for most children to
start regular dental visits. They must have the ability to trust and try new things like "laughing gas".
