About Pediatric Dentistry of San Antonio
Pediatric Dentistry of San Antonio is a dental practice on Poss Road in the Far West Side area of San Antonio, Texas. Pediatric dental care is built around treating children specifically — dentists with additional training in child development and behaviour management, and offices designed to make a first visit unintimidating. Guidance generally points to a child's first dental visit around age one or within six months of the first tooth.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.
Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.
A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.
Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.
Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

I had the day of my daughter’s appointment wrong, and they squeezed her in anyway (and we were still in and out quickly) I appreciate the hygienist for educating my daughter on proper brushing techniques. She was treated with care by all the staff that interacted with her.
Our daughter has a special dental condition that required extra care, recommended by our daughter’s dentist, we visited Dr. Cantu and he was great with my daughter, upon examination it was determined that my daughter would be needing a certain procedure, Christine went above and beyond with the PCP & insurances to get her scheduled for surgery at the earliest possible date with the consideration of our daughter’s possible discomfort due to her condition. Thank you so so much!
Best dentist and the people are so nice
From the lobby to the care that was provided, everything was thoughtfully executed to make my son’s experience free from fear. He performed beyond my expectation because the environment was created with such intention. I’m grateful we chose Pediatric Dentistry of San Antonio for our first dental visit.
Dr. Cantu and his amazing staff are simply incredible! Their service, attention to the seemingly small details, concern for patients, passion for and knowledge in their field, empathy, clear communication, kindness and many other beautiful qualities they possess as individuals and as an office altogether. I recommend them to everyone I know! They are truly amazing people and I’m happy that my son and I found Dr. Cantu!
We love this place!! All 3 of my kiddos have been seen here since they were little until their 21st birthdays. We love all the doctors, dental staff, and front staff - everyone is awesome!! Keep up the great work!!
Dr. Cantu and his team were so compassionate and supportive and I was so very grateful to each of them. I couldn’t have been more pleased.
This is a great dental office. The staff is great. I've been bringing my kids here for the last 10 yrs. My favorite thing is the preventative care they take with my kids teeth. They are honest and straight forward.
As always, Dr. Cantu and his staff were friendly and courteous. They make a possibly stressful dental visit into a comfortable experience. I highly recommend them.
We are very grateful and feel blessed for Dr. Cantu and his office staff not only for their expertise and skill, but also their kindness and always giving us excellent service! Thank you😊
