Boerne families making intentional choices about their children’s health — from the food they eat to the products in their home — are often the same parents who find themselves questioning whether conventional pediatric dentistry is the right fit. Boerne is one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas, with a population that has increased by nearly 40% since 2020, and with that growth has come a wave of health-conscious families who want more than the standard approach. When it comes to your child’s dental health, that same intentionality matters, because how a child breathes, sleeps, chews, and develops is deeply connected to what happens in the dental chair.
Wellness Pediatric Dentistry & Airway is the only holistic pediatric dental practice serving the San Antonio area, and Kendall County families have made it their destination for whole-child dental care. Led by Dr. Christi Wengler, a board-certified Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, our practice brings a philosophy of holistic pediatric dentistry that most practices in and around Boerne simply do not offer. Parents receive full transparency about every material and method used in their child’s care, every time.
Holistic pediatric dentistry treats the child as a whole person. Rather than addressing symptoms in isolation, a holistic approach evaluates how oral health intersects with diet, airway function, sleep patterns, and developmental milestones. Research published in Frontiers in Dental Medicine via PubMed Central confirms that a multidisciplinary approach in pediatric dentistry leads to more comprehensive outcomes for children.
At Wellness Pediatric Dentistry & Airway, that philosophy shapes every appointment. From the materials used to the way the environment is designed, every decision is made with the child’s developing body in mind.
We use biocompatible, non-toxic materials throughout our restorative and preventive treatments, including biocompatible fillings that avoid materials parents commonly have concerns about. Before anything is used in your child’s mouth, you receive a full explanation of what it is and why we use it. We also use PSP plate imaging rather than traditional sensors for digital X-rays, and digital scans instead of physical molds, for a more comfortable, precise experience.
Jaw development, breathing patterns, and sleep quality are deeply connected. We offer airway-focused orthodontics and conduct sleep-disordered breathing screenings for children as young as four. Most jaw growth occurs before age six, which means catching airway concerns early allows for intervention during the window that matters most. For Boerne-area families whose children show signs of mouth breathing, snoring, restless sleep, or difficulty concentrating, an airway evaluation may uncover the root cause rather than just manage the symptom.
Our services include Silver Diamine Fluoride as a minimally invasive option for managing cavities, ozone therapy, Invisalign First for younger patients, and palate expanders as part of airway-focused orthodontic treatment. For children with special needs or sensory processing differences, our practice includes private, quiet rooms designed to ensure every child can receive care in a safe, comfortable environment.
Boerne sits in Kendall County, and while the area continues to grow rapidly, families seeking a truly holistic approach to pediatric dentistry will find that no practice in Boerne itself offers what Wellness Pediatric Dentistry & Airway provides. The drive from Boerne to our Castle Hills practice is roughly 30 minutes, and for families who prioritize biocompatible materials, minimally invasive treatment, and a provider who takes time to explain every recommendation, it is a drive well worth making.
Families across Kendall County and surrounding communities regularly travel specifically for airway-focused care, because that level of specialty is rare. We welcome new patients from Boerne, Comfort, Fair Oaks Ranch, and the wider Kendall County area.
Dr. Wengler brings a depth of training that sets her apart from conventional pediatric dentists. Her credentials include:
This combination of credentials means that when you bring your child to Wellness Pediatric Dentistry & Airway, you are seeing a provider who understands nutrition, development, and airway health at a level that goes far beyond general pediatric training.
