What this is, in plain language

Hospital dental division treating children age 14 and under who are disabled or have complex medical conditions — including autistic children who need extra behavioural support — with routine cleanings, dental surgery, emergency dental care, and sedation or general anaesthesia when needed. Dentists coordinate with the hospital's other medical and surgical divisions for children with additional health needs.

Getting started

Every patient needs a referral from their own doctor documenting the underlying health condition before an appointment can be booked; once the referral is in, call (832) 822-3200 to schedule.

Written from what the provider publishes, to save you decoding it. It describes the service; it is not our view of how good it is.

What they say about themselves

Taken from the provider's own website. We have not verified the claims — the parent reviews below are the other half of the picture.

  • The Pediatric Dentistry Division sees children age 14 or under who are disabled or have complex medical issues, and its dental specialists work alongside divisions such as the Cancer and Hematology Center and Heart Center — patients may be seen as outpatients, inpatients or in operating rooms.
  • Offers sedation and general anaesthesia for children with severe dental anxiety, disabled children, or procedures too extensive for a routine visit.
  • Every patient needs a referral from their own doctor — a paediatrician, primary care provider or specialist — documenting the underlying health condition before an appointment can be booked.
  • Texas Children's hospital-wide accepted-insurance list includes many Texas Medicaid STAR, CHIP and STAR Kids plans alongside commercial insurers.
