Boerne families know the value of making thoughtful choices, from where you eat to how your children are cared for. When it comes to your child’s dental health, that same intention matters deeply. A holistic pediatric dentist goes beyond checking teeth, addressing how oral health connects to breathing, sleep, nutrition, and long-term development.
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, the practice was built around one core belief: parents deserve full transparency about what goes into their child’s body, and children deserve care that honors their overall wellness.
Holistic pediatric dentistry treats the child as a whole person. Rather than addressing symptoms in isolation, a holistic pediatric dentist evaluates how oral health intersects with diet, airway function, sleep patterns, and developmental milestones. Research published in Frontiers in Dental Medicine through PubMed Central underscores 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 believe the best dental care is care that supports the whole child, and that commitment is visible at every stage of treatment.
We use biocompatible, non-toxic materials throughout our restorative and preventive treatments. Parents receive a full explanation of all materials and methods before anything is used in their child’s mouth. We also use PSP plate imaging rather than traditional sensors for digital X-rays, and digital scans instead of physical molds, creating a more comfortable experience without sacrificing accuracy.
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. Catching airway concerns early, when most jaw growth is still occurring, allows for intervention during the window that matters most. Early identification means families can act before small issues become larger, more complex problems down the road.
Boerne sits in Kendall County, and while the area has continued to grow, families seeking a truly holistic approach to pediatric dentistry often travel to find care that aligns with their values. Wellness Pediatric Dentistry & Airway has become a trusted destination for those families. We serve the Kendall County area and welcome new patients from Boerne, Comfort, Fair Oaks Ranch, and surrounding communities.
The drive is a short one, and for families who prioritize biocompatible materials, minimally invasive treatment, and a provider who will take time to explain every recommendation, it is well worth the trip.
Dr. Wengler brings a depth of training that sets her apart from conventional pediatric dentists. Her credentials include:
