When Your Child Needs a Little More Than a Cleaning
When your child needs more than a routine visit, it’s normal to feel a little unsure about what comes next. What does the treatment involve? Will it hurt? Is it really necessary? Dr. Cantu and Dr. Wengler take the time to answer those questions honestly, so you can make the decision that feels right for you and your child, with a clear picture of what’s ahead. If keeping your child comfortable means exploring sedation options, that’s a conversation we’re happy to have too.
Whatever Your Child’s Tooth Needs, We’ll Take Care of It
Tooth-Colored Kids’ Fillings
Cavities happen, even with great brushing. If your child has one, a tooth-colored filling takes care of it quietly and keeps the tooth strong, without leaving any trace of a past problem area.
Kids’ Dental Crowns (Caps)
When a tooth needs more support than a filling can provide, a crown covers and protects it so that your child can chew, talk, and smile without discomfort while their smile keeps developing.
Gum Disease Treatment
Swollen gums or bleeding when your child brushes aren’t always something you’d think to flag, but they’re worth mentioning to us. Your child’s dentist checks for early signs at every routine visit, and if something needs attention, we’ll address it before it has a chance to become a bigger problem.
Teeth Grinding Treatment
If you’ve noticed your child grinding at night, or their teeth are showing more wear than seems normal, that’s worth looking into. We’ll assess what’s happening and find the right approach for your child’s age and needs.
Baby Root Canals (Pulpotomies)
When decay has reached deeper into a tooth, saving it is the priority. These treatments address the source of your child’s pain and give their tooth the best chance of staying healthy and whole until it’s ready to come out on its own.
Gentle Tooth Extractions
Sometimes, the kindest option for your child’s overall health is to help a tooth on its way out. When that’s the right call, we’ll walk you through exactly how we can make the process as calm and comfortable as your child needs, and talk you through what comes next for their smile.
We Help You Figure Out Where to Start
A lot of families in San Antonio have trusted us with their children’s dental health for years (some. That kind of loyalty doesn’t happen by accident: it starts with feeling heard, and it grows from knowing your child is always in steady, unhurried hands. Dr. Cantu and Dr. Wengler will explain your options honestly and never recommend more than your child genuinely needs.
