Wellness Pediatric Dentistry & Airway

05/25/2026

After 10 years in pediatric dentistry, this is still the part that excites me most. 💜

Airway dentistry isn’t just about teeth. It’s about helping children grow, sleep, learn, focus, and regulate emotions in a healthier way.

When we improve how a child breathes, we have the opportunity to impact their development for years to come. That’s so powerful and motivating to me.

That’s why I do what I do. ✨

This may surprise San Antonio Parents .. A child’s restless sleep, constant mouth breathing, and even behavioral struggles can sometimes be connected to one root issue that often gets overlooked:

Your child’s airway.

Hi, I’m Dr. Christi Wengler, an airway dentist board-certified pediatric airway dentist. I help kids in our area breathe better, sleep more comfortably, and feel more regulated in everyday life.

When a child is breathing well and getting quality rest, they’re able to focus, learn, communicate, and handle daily frustrations more easily.

That’s why we offer consultations where we look at your child’s:

✔️ Jaw development
✔️ Palate width
✔️ Breathing patterns
So you can better understand what may be going on and what your options are.

I’m passionate about helping kids get the support they need early, so they have the best chance to grow, learn, and feel their best.

Ready for answers? Let’s start the conversation on Messenger then get your child in for an airway consultation.

She thought her son just had “a lot of energy.”

He was always on the go.
Couldn’t sit still.
Struggled to focus.

And at night?

He snored.

But no one ever told her those two things could be connected.

What she didn’t realize was…

He wasn’t getting the deep, restorative sleep his brain needed.

Because when a child isn’t breathing well at night, their oxygen levels can drop,
and that directly impacts brain development, memory, and emotional regulation.

So instead of waking up rested…

They wake up dysregulated.
Hyperactive.
Overstimulated.

Not because they’re “just a wild kid”,
but because their body is trying to compensate.

This is something I see all the time as a pediatric airway dentist.

And once parents understand what’s really going on, everything starts to make sense.

That end-of-week snap, crackle, pop hits different 😅

The non-stop bending, reaching, cheering kids on, and showing up with patience all day long…It’s hard work, but it’s the kind we’re proud of.

And the real magic? Teamwork.
We’ve got each other’s backs (literally) so we can give our patients the best care possible.

Wouldn’t trade this team, or these kids, for anything 💜

📍San Antonio parents — this might surprise you…

Most people think cavities in kids are just about brushing and flossing.

But as a specialist in pediatric airway dentistry, I can tell you—it often goes much deeper than that.

Mouth breathing, oral ties, and improper jaw development can all impact not just teeth, but your child’s:

* Sleep quality
* Digestion
* Behavior
* And even things like bedwetting

That’s why at Wellness Pediatric Dentistry & Airway, we don’t just look at teeth—we look at the full picture of how your child is growing and breathing.

Because when we understand the airway, we can often understand the why behind what’s really going on.
