Texas Tykes Pediatric Dentistry

Texas Tykes Pediatric Dentistry is a children's dental practice led by Dr. Jaime Simmons, a board-certified pediatric dentist who treats infants, children, teens and kids with special healthcare needs. The office handles preventive and restorative care, pulpal therapy, extractions, frenectomies, interceptive orthodontics, sedation and dental emergencies. Reviewers say the staff are patient and help nervous kids feel at ease.

The office is on Stephens Place in New Braunfels. A first visit runs about an hour and includes an exam, x-rays and a cleaning, so families are asked to complete forms beforehand. Preschoolers tend to be seen in the morning, and most treatment is scheduled then, while Fridays are reserved for anesthesia visits. Only one adult should accompany a child for treatment, siblings wait in the waiting area, and food and drinks are not allowed inside. Payment is due when treatment is given, and the practice accepts cash, checks and most major cards.
