Convenient Access from East Austin
About 10 minutes after leaving the Carver Branch Library, East Austin kids can be settling into a dental chair made just for them. Super Kids Austin is roughly 5 miles away in Southeast Austin, a convenient pediatric dentist near East Austin for families between I-35 and Rosewood Ave. We care only for children, from a baby's first tooth through the teen years. The trip stays on city streets plus one short highway frontage stretch, with no toll roads at all.
Leave the Carver Branch Library at 1161 Angelina St, next door to the George Washington Carver Museum. Follow Gregory St and Concho St down to E 7th St and drive east, then take Airport Blvd briefly and the short US 183 frontage near it. Turn south on Montopolis Dr, cross the Colorado River, and turn onto E Riverside Dr and then Thrasher Ln. You arrive at 6707 E Riverside Dr #201, Austin, TX 78741, on E Riverside Dr near Montopolis Dr.
Save the practice on Google Maps so the last turn onto Thrasher Ln is easy to spot. E 7th St and the Airport Blvd junction both get busier at rush hour. Families just east and south of Central East Austin can read our pages for Govalle and East Cesar Chavez.
Rooted in Central East Austin, Built for Kids
Central East Austin runs from E 7th St north to E MLK Jr Blvd, between I-35 and the Chicon St and Rosewood Ave corridor. It holds some of the oldest institutions in Travis County: Huston-Tillotson University, Wesley United Methodist Church, Victory Grill and the Carver Museum. Families also know the Swedish Hill Historic District and Rosewood Neighborhood Park, home to the Delores Duffie Recreation Center. Rosewood's renovated, shaded playground opened in winter 2026, and Rosewood Pool next door is free to swim in.
Our office is built for the same kids who spend their afternoons at those playscapes. Super Kids Austin has a superhero theme, toys, balloons and prizes waiting at the end of a visit. In the open hygiene room, children watch cartoons during their checkup while a parent or caregiver sits right beside them. You can preview the space on the Our Office page before your child's first appointment.
East Austin parents often juggle more than one child's schedule, and our team keeps that in mind. Younger siblings and teens see the same two pediatric dentists, so the whole family learns one routine and one set of faces. That familiarity tends to make each visit calmer than the last.
Some East Austin children live with complex medical conditions or special healthcare needs. Our dentists are credentialed at Dell Children's, so hospital-based dentistry is available when a child needs it. For most kids, though, care stays right here in the office, one calm checkup at a time.
What East Austin Parents Should Know About School-Age Smiles
Many children here attend Austin ISD schools such as Blackshear Elementary, the district's first elementary school devoted to the arts, and Kealing Middle. A week packed with dance, theatre and music makes it easy for a checkup to slip off the calendar. Our hours help: the office opens at 8:00 AM on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Tuesday and Thursday it stays open until 6:00 PM, which leaves room for a visit after the school day ends.
The school years are when permanent molars arrive, and their deep grooves catch food easily. Sealants on molars and premolars, fluoride treatment and hands-on brushing and flossing coaching are all part of preventive care at Super Kids Austin. Baby teeth still matter during this stage too. They help with speech and chewing, and they hold space that guides the adult teeth into place.
Snacks between rehearsals and practices add up over a school week. Nutrition guidance is part of preventive care here, with simple swaps that are easy for East Austin kids to follow at home. Small changes like these protect teeth between visits, which is where most of the work happens.
Pediatric Dentist Near East Austin: Care for Growing Kids
Preventative Care
Gentle cleanings, exams and digital x-rays with minimal radiation track how your child's teeth are growing. Sealants protect the chewing surfaces of back teeth, and fluoride treatment adds protection between visits. Each checkup ends with brushing and flossing coaching your child can repeat at home.
Emergency Dentistry
A tumble on a playscape can chip or loosen a tooth in a second. Call right away and the team will set up an emergency visit. For a knocked-out permanent tooth, hold it by the crown, keep it in milk if it will not go back in, and come in fast.
Managing Dental Anxiety & More
Role-play at home, a favorite comfort item or music, and praise afterward all help a nervous child. When a child needs more support, our dentists build an individualized care plan. Sedation can be part of that plan when it fits the child.
Infant Oral Care
Little brothers and sisters need a dental home too. A baby's first visit belongs within six months of the first tooth or by the first birthday. It includes a gentle exam plus practical tips on bottles, pacifiers and sippy cups.
For most children, care starts with a checkup and cleaning, and other treatment comes in only when a need shows up. Our full pediatric dental services list also covers the sedation options used for significant anxiety or extensive work. When East Austin parents are unsure where to begin, a first exam gives our dentists a clear picture of the teeth and the next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Super Kids Austin from East Austin, and how do I get there?
The office is about 5 miles from the Carver Branch Library, a drive of roughly 10 minutes. You head east on E 7th St, follow Airport Blvd and the US 183 frontage briefly, then go south on Montopolis Dr to E Riverside Dr. Families who want a pediatric dentist near East Austin can make the whole trip without a toll road.
Can my child's checkup happen after school?
Yes, on Tuesday and Thursday the office stays open until 6:00 PM, which leaves time for a visit after the school day. Monday, Wednesday and Friday run from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and the office is closed on weekends. Booking by phone lets the front desk match a time to your child's class schedule.
Do sealants help keep cavities out of my child's back teeth?
Yes, sealants cover the deep grooves on molars and premolars, where food and plaque tend to collect. Our dentists place them as part of routine preventive care, often alongside fluoride treatment. They work best when paired with daily brushing and flossing, and your child gets coaching on both at every checkup.
Can I sit with my child during the cleaning?
Yes, parents and caregivers are welcome to sit with their child in the open hygiene room. Kids can watch cartoons while their teeth are cleaned, which helps many of them settle in. Staying close also lets you hear the brushing and flossing tips firsthand, so you can repeat them at home that night.
What does the $79 new-patient visit include?
It includes a full cleaning, an exam and standard x-rays. The offer is for new patients without insurance and in the absence of periodontal disease. Families with Medicaid, CHIP or a PPO plan use their coverage instead, and the team verifies benefits before the first appointment so there are fewer surprises at checkout.
