Finding the right pediatric dentist is not just about convenience or finding someone nearby. It is about finding a provider who truly understands your child’s health, values your input as a parent, and treats your whole child rather than simply addressing isolated symptoms as they arise. Families across the greater San Antonio area are increasingly seeking out pediatric care that goes beyond routine cleanings and traditional approaches, looking for a provider who prioritizes biocompatible materials, minimally invasive techniques, and honest, transparent communication about every facet of their child’s treatment.
Wellness Pediatric Dentistry & Airway is San Antonio’s first holistic pediatric dental practice, and we are proud to serve families throughout the region from our Castle Hills location. Dr. Christi Wengler brings an exceptional depth of expertise to every visit, including her Diplomat status with the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, an AEGD residency, a Bachelor’s in Nutritional Sciences, Certified Lactation Counselor credentials, and specialized Airway Health Solutions training. Whether your family is around the corner or driving in from across Bexar County, our pediatric dental practice is committed to making the trip and your experience worthwhile.
San Antonio and its surrounding communities are home to families who are increasingly seeking dental care that goes beyond the standard checkup. At Wellness Pediatric Dentistry & Airway, we serve children across the greater San Antonio area with a whole-child philosophy that prioritizes long-term health over quick fixes.
Our practice is rooted in Castle Hills, a close-knit neighborhood nestled within San Antonio. While the area is small, it sits at the heart of everything we do. Families from across San Antonio trust Wellness Pediatric Dentistry & Airway because we offer something genuinely different from other dental offices. We have a strong commitment to using fluoride-free alternatives when appropriate and using non-toxic filling materials, all within a calm, private office environment designed with sensory-sensitive children in mind.
According to the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics, nearly 46% of children ages 2 to 19 have experienced dental caries in their primary or permanent teeth, making early, prevention-focused care more important than ever. Our preventive dentistry approach is built on the belief that the right care early in life lays the foundation for lifelong oral health.
The communities of Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills are home to families who tend to be highly engaged in their children’s healthcare and are often seeking alternatives to conventional dental treatment. These neighborhoods are just a short drive from our Castle Hills location, and we welcome families from both communities who are looking for a pediatric dentist who will take the time to fully explain every recommendation. Our holistic dentistry philosophy means parents always leave with a clear understanding of what went into their child’s care and why.
For families in Boerne, Bulverde, and the surrounding Hill Country, access to specialized pediatric dental care, particularly airway-focused treatment, isn’t exactly around the corner. We regularly see families who make this drive because the care we offer simply is not available closer to home.
Our airway orthodontics services draw patients from well outside our immediate neighborhood, and for good reason: most jaw growth occurs before age six, making early evaluation and intervention critical. If your child has been snoring, mouth breathing, or showing signs of disrupted sleep, an airway evaluation at our practice may offer answers that conventional dental offices are not equipped to provide.
Our practice was built around the understanding that pediatric dental care and overall wellness are deeply intertwined. Dr. Wengler’s background in nutritional sciences allows her to address the dietary factors that contribute to cavities and developmental concerns, while her Certified Lactation Counselor credentials make her uniquely positioned to support families from infancy through adolescence.
We offer a full range of sedation dentistry options for children who need additional support, from nitrous oxide to IV sedation for more complex cases. We also have private, quiet rooms specifically designed for children with autism, sensory processing differences, and other special needs.
Visiting a pediatric dentist as an out-of-network practice is a choice most families do not make lightly, and we have long known this. That is why we provide membership plans and financing options through Cherry and CareCredit to help make exceptional care accessible, and we work hard to make every visit worth the drive, regardless of where you are coming from.
Experience the difference that holistic pediatric care can make for your child. Our comprehensive approach combines gentle techniques with transparent communication to create positive dental experiences that last a lifetime.
