I'd like to take my two-year-old daughter to see a good pediatric dentist that accepts military insurance. Our family dentist doesn't see children this young. We are fairly new to this area (arrived almost a year ago). Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Dr. Rebecca Wilson at Alamo Heights Pediatric Dentistry is incredible. My daughter usually throws a fit when the appointment is over and it's time to leave! She is in the Lincoln Heights Shopping Center at Broadway & Basse Rd.
I took my two children to Cynthia Banker, her office is off 281N before 1604. She is a very caring dentist and her staff is friendly. My children saw her from age 3 until they both reached 18 since she only accepts children. Not sure about military insurance but it won't hurt to call her at ###-###-####.
Hi J.,
I highly recommend Randall Whitten, DDS, PA. Located at 8700 Crownhill, Suite 210, Loop 410 @ Broadway. Their number is ###-###-####.
He was recommended to us 8 years ago by my husband and my dentist. He has just been wonderful.
Good Luck,
Debra
It may not be exactly convenient, depending on where you live, but Stone Oak Pediatric Dentistry is excellent. Not sure about what insurance they take. www.sopdtx.com
Hi J.:
I'm a dentist (orthodontist). Everybody has recommended good people. I'll recommend you to take your daughter to a pedodontist (general dentist that has a specialty in children).From the replies that you got, the following are pedodontist (that I know of): Dr Wilson, Dr Doose, Stone Oak Pediatric Dentist, Dr Banker, Dr Whitten, Dr James. And I will add Dr Billick (Little Teeth of Texas ###-###-####) she is on Hardy Oaks. So you could base your decision on location & on whom takes your insurance. Good luck.
Not sure if he takes military insurance but try Dr. James M. Doose. He is located in the Thousand Oaks and Henderson Pass area. Thousand Oaks Children Dentistry,phone# ###-###-####.
We also use Stone Oak Pediatrics. We LOVE Dr. Liz!
I also take my kids to Dr. Velez at Kids Dental in Schertz...He is awesome with the kids and very compassionate. The office and staff are extremely kid friendly.
We were referred last year to Dr. Robert James, DDS.
The doctor and office staff are awesome. The website is:

My 10 yo loves to go to the dentist and wants to go more than twice a year that the insurance allows.
I have a 2 year old also who will be 3 in Oct. and he says that his experience is that most children are fine with a first time visit at 3. His reasoning is younger kids go through the fear/anxiety phase and he doesn't want them to develop a fear of dentists. He also believes in "mom knows best" and says if you feel for any reason you should/want to bring in your child earlier than 3 he will be happy to see the child.
I don't know if they take military insurance but their office staff would be able to tell you.
Ditto about Dr. Doose. He's great! My kids (especially) love him.
We go to Kids Dental on I35 in Schertz. Its across the highway from HEB next to Little Spurs. They take United Concordia. They have been good to my 2 1/2 year old. Hope this helps. ~M.
Dr. Willie Cant with Smile Solutions is the best Pediatric Dentist around....He actually does kids and adults.
