Northeast Children’s Dentistry · Southcross
Pediatric Dentist in Southeast San Antonio


At our Southcross office, we want families in Southeast San Antonio to feel welcome from the first hello. Whether your child is getting to know the dentist or becoming more independent with their own dental habits, we’re here with encouragement, practical guidance, and explanations that make sense. Your questions and concerns are an important part of every conversation about care.
Our practice’s roots reach back to 1979, and the family that planted them still owns NECD today. At Southcross, that means being part of a practice built around caring for children and developing lasting relationships with families.
Watching growth with your family
As we care for your child’s smile, we also follow how their mouth, bite, and jaws are developing. You know your child’s habits best, so if you’ve noticed snoring or breathing through the mouth, tell us; it helps us see the fuller picture of their airway health. We share what we notice, explain any concerns, and discuss next steps with you to support healthy growth.
