If you’re coming from Crestview, I’d start with these Austin options. I checked specifically for pediatric care + infants + Medicaid:

• Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — 1005 W 38th St. DentaQuest’s current Central Texas Medicaid directory lists it as accepting new patients and ages 0–18, with special-needs accommodations. This is a particularly direct match for an infant. DentaQuest
• Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin — 1139 W Braker Ln. Pediatric-only practice; its listing says it sees infants through teens and accepts Texas Medicaid/CHIP.
• Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry — 11149 Research Blvd. Pediatric practice for infants, children and teens, and the practice states it accepts Medicaid/CHIP. DentaQuest
• Kids Tooth Team — 1217 W Slaughter Ln. South Austin; specifically geared toward infants through teens and reports accepting Medicaid through DentaQuest, UHC Medicaid and MCNA.
• Park Lane Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics — Mueller; pediatric dentistry for infants through teens and accepts Medicaid plans. Park Lane Pediatric Dentistry

If it were my shortlist based strictly on your requirements, I'd call Central Park Pediatric Dentistry first, because the Medicaid directory explicitly confirms ages 0–18 and new patients. DentaQuest

One important thing: Texas children's Medicaid dental coverage is administered through DentaQuest, MCNA Dental, or UnitedHealthcare Dental, so tell the office which one is on your child's card and ask them to verify the exact plan before booking. dshs.texas.gov

If you tell me your baby's age (e.g. 4 months, 10 months, 18 months) and which Medicaid plan you have, I can narrow this down to the offices that are the best exact match.

• Central Park Pediatric Dentistry - 1005 W 38th St #200, Austin, TX 78705, United States

Since you’re in Crestview (North Austin) and need Medicaid + infant care, I’d start with these:

• Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — 1005 W 38th St. This is a pediatric-only practice, and the current DentaQuest Central Texas Medicaid directory lists the practice as accepting new patients and ages 0–18. DentaQuest
• Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin — 1139 W Braker Ln. Pediatric-only, including infants, and the office indicates it accepts Texas Medicaid/CHIP.
• Park Lane Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics — Mueller, 1900 Aldrich St. They specifically state they accept Medicaid plans for pediatric dentistry and are currently accepting new patients. Park Lane Dental Ortho
• Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry — 11149 Research Blvd. Pediatric-focused and accepts Medicaid/CHIP; the practice treats infants through teens.

For a baby, I’d call Central Park Pediatric Dentistry first, because the Medicaid directory specifically confirms ages 0–18 and new patients, which is stronger verification than simply seeing “Medicaid accepted” on a practice website. DentaQuest

One important detail: Texas Medicaid dental coverage is administered through dental plans, so when you call, give them the baby's exact Medicaid dental plan (such as DentaQuest, MCNA, or UnitedHealthcare Dental) and ask them to verify that plan before booking. The federal InsureKidsNow locator also recommends confirming the child's specific plan and whether the dentist is accepting new patients. insurekidsnow.gov

If you tell me which Medicaid dental plan your baby has, I can narrow this down to the offices closest to Crestview that are confirmed in-network.

• Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin - 1139 W Braker Ln Ste 201, Austin, TX 78758, United States
• Central Park Pediatric Dentistry - 1005 W 38th St #200, Austin, TX 78705, United States

• Shine Pediatric Dental Co. - 2631 Gattis School Rd Ste. 170, Round Rock, TX 78664, United States

Since you’re in Crestview (North/Central Austin) and need Medicaid + infant care, I’d prioritize these:

1. Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin — 1139 W Braker Ln. Pediatric-only, specifically sees infants, and the office reports accepting Texas Medicaid/CHIP. This is probably my first call because it’s relatively close to Crestview and is focused entirely on children. myDental
2. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — 1005 W 38th St. Very convenient from Crestview, pediatric-focused, and the current DentaQuest Medicaid directory lists them as accepting new patients and ages 0–18. DentaQuest
3. Park Lane Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics — Mueller, 1900 Aldrich St. They specifically say they see children from infancy through the teen years and accept Medicaid plans for pediatric dentistry. Park Lane Pediatric Dentistry

My pick

I'd call Central Park Pediatric Dentistry first, then Red Balloon if they can't get you in. Central Park has particularly strong Medicaid-directory evidence: ages 0–18 + accepting new patients. DentaQuest

One important thing: Medicaid acceptance depends on the child's specific dental plan (DentaQuest, MCNA, or UnitedHealthcare Dental), so I'd give them the baby's plan name when calling and ask: “Are you accepting new patients with this specific Medicaid dental plan, and do you do First Dental Home/infant exams?” Texas confirms those are the three main Medicaid dental administrators. Texas Health Services

If you tell me which Medicaid dental plan your baby has (DentaQuest, MCNA, or UHC), I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 offices closest to Crestview that take that exact plan.

Best matches to call first

Also have your child’s dental plan name ready (for example DentaQuest, MCNA, or UnitedHealthcare Dental), because “accepts Medicaid” can vary by plan. dshs.texas.gov

If you tell me your Medicaid dental plan and your baby’s age, I can narrow this to the most likely office to take you.

They are a pediatric specialty office, are listed as accepting Medicaid, and their provider information indicates they see children ages 0–18 (including babies). It’s also a convenient location from Crestview. DentaQuest

• Ask: “Do you have openings for a First Dental Home visit for an infant and do you accept our specific Medicaid dental plan?”
• Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin — another good North Austin option. They focus on pediatric dentistry, including infants, and their office information indicates they accept Texas Medicaid/CHIP.

• This is especially convenient from Crestview/Brentwood/North Loop.
• Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin — farther south, but they specifically advertise Medicaid families and infant-to-teen care. Kid's Dental Austin
• CommUnityCare: North Central Health Center / Carousel Pediatric Dental Services — a good backup if Medicaid acceptance is the biggest priority. They provide first dental exams for babies and toddlers and accept Medicaid/CHIP. CommunityCare

A few things I’d confirm when you call:

• “Do you accept [your Medicaid dental plan]?” (Texas Medicaid dental plans vary.)
• “Do you see babies under 1 year old?”
• “Can you do a First Dental Home visit?” (Many Texas pediatric offices use this program for infants.)
• “Are you accepting new Medicaid patients right now?”

If you tell me which Medicaid dental plan you have (for example, DentaQuest, MCNA, UnitedHealthcare Dental, etc.) and your baby’s age, I can narrow it down to the best match. Insure Kids Now

• Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — 1005 W 38th St #200, about a short drive from Crestview. (512) 330-4624. The Medicaid directory lists it as accepting new patients and ages 0–18. DentaQuest

Since you’re in Crestview, I’d prioritize a practice that is both genuinely set up for infants and clearly participates in Medicaid.

My top pick: Central Park Pediatric Dentistry

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-330-4624)

• 1005 W 38th St #200 — fairly close to Crestview.
• Their Medicaid provider-directory listing says accepting new patients and ages 0–18. DentaQuest
• They are a dedicated pediatric practice, so this is a particularly good fit for a baby/first dental visit, rather than a general family dentist.
• Phone: 512-330-4624.

Another very good option: Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry

DirectionsWebsite[Call](tel:+1 512-346-1221)

This one is farther north on Research Blvd, but the practice specifically treats infants, children and teens and says it accepts Medicaid and CHIP.

If you want the most Medicaid-focused option

CommUnityCare / Carousel Pediatric Dental Services is worth considering. They explicitly offer first dental exams for babies and toddlers and accept Medicaid/CHIP. Their North Lamar location at 9411 N Lamar Blvd is especially convenient from Crestview. CommunityCare CommunityCare

One important thing: Medicaid dental coverage is administered through specific dental plans in Texas (such as DentaQuest, MCNA, or UnitedHealthcare Dental), so “accepts Medicaid” doesn't necessarily mean they take your particular plan. Texas Health Services

If this were my baby, I'd call Central Park first and say: “My child is an infant, we're on [your Medicaid dental plan], and we're looking for their first dental visit. Are you accepting new patients under that plan?”

If you tell me which Medicaid dental plan you have (DentaQuest, MCNA, UnitedHealthcare, etc.) and your baby's age, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 offices closest to Crestview.

Since you’re in Crestview (North Austin), I’d start with a place that is close and specifically confirms Medicaid + infant visits. Medicaid plans can vary (for example, DentaQuest, MCNA, and UnitedHealthcare Dental administer many Texas children’s dental benefits), so it’s worth confirming your exact plan when you call. Texas Health Services

My top picks:

1. Kidz Dental — probably the first one I’d call

• Pediatric-focused office
• States it partners with state-funded Medicaid plans
• Good fit if you want a dedicated kids’ dentist rather than a general family dentist Kid's Dental Austin
• Ask: “Do you see babies under 1 year old for first dental visits, and do you take my Medicaid dental plan?”
• Carousel Pediatrics-North Lamar — best Medicaid-oriented option

• Accepts Medicaid/CHIP and offers first dental exams for babies and toddlers through its pediatric dental services. CommunityCare
• This may be a good choice if keeping costs predictable is the priority.
• Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — convenient from Crestview

• Pediatric specialist; listed in a Medicaid provider directory with ages accepted starting at 0. DentaQuest
• A good option if you prefer a traditional pediatric dental practice.
• myDental at Norwood Park — very close to Crestview/North Austin

• Sees infants, toddlers, children, and teens. myDental
• I would call to verify Medicaid acceptance for your specific plan before booking.

For an infant’s first dental visit, I’d personally call Kidz Dental first, then CommUnityCare North Lamar if Medicaid acceptance is the deciding factor.

When you call, ask these three questions:

• “Do you accept [your Medicaid dental plan name]?”
• “Do you see infants under 12 months for first visits?”
• “Can a parent stay with the baby during the exam?”

If you tell me your baby’s age and which Medicaid plan you have (for example STAR, CHIP, DentaQuest, MCNA, etc.), I can narrow it down further.

Yes. Since you’re in Crestview, I’d start with Red Balloon Dentistry for Children in North Austin:

My pick: Red Balloon. For an infant, I'd specifically tell the scheduler: “This is the baby's first dental visit, and we're on Texas Medicaid. Do you accept our specific Medicaid dental plan, and can we book an infant/new-patient appointment?”

One important detail: Texas children's Medicaid dental coverage is administered through plans including DentaQuest, MCNA Dental, and UnitedHealthcare Dental, so the office needs to verify your particular plan rather than just saying “we take Medicaid.” Texas Health Services

If you tell me which Medicaid dental plan you have (DentaQuest, MCNA, or UnitedHealthcare), I can narrow this to the best 2–3 offices near Crestview that take your exact plan.

If you mean Crestview in Austin, TX, I’d put Kidz Dental at the top of your list. Their site specifically says they:

• Accept all state-funded Medicaid plans
• See infants, toddlers, and older children
• Focus specifically on pediatric dentistry
• Are currently accepting patients Kidz Dental

A couple of other strong options are:

• Park Lane Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics — pediatric specialists, and they accept Medicaid plans for pediatric dentistry. Park Lane Pediatric Dentistry
• Lucent Dentistry — accepts Medicaid/CHIP and provides pediatric care; they're at 3909 N IH-35. Lucent Dentistry DentaQuest
• CommUnityCare/Carousel Pediatric Dental Services — particularly worth considering if Medicaid access is the priority. They explicitly offer first dental exams for babies and toddlers and accept Medicaid/CHIP. CommunityCare CommunityCare
• Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — DentaQuest's Central Texas Medicaid directory lists them as accepting new patients and accepting children ages 0–18. DentaQuest

My first call would be Kidz Dental, especially if this is your baby's first dental visit. When you call, tell them the baby's age and exact Medicaid plan (for example, STAR/CHIP through a particular managed-care plan) and ask them to verify that the specific dentist is in-network.

If you mean Crestview in North Austin, I’d start with Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin. It’s on W. Braker Lane, specifically pediatric-focused, sees infants through teens, and the practice says it accepts Texas Medicaid and CHIP. Kid's Dental Austin

A few other strong options:

• Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry — Research Blvd; pediatric specialists, infants through teens, and accepts Medicaid/CHIP.

• Park Lane Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics — Mueller; pediatric specialists and accepts most Medicaid plans. Park Lane Dental & Orthodontics
• Lone Star Pediatric Dental & Braces - North Austin — Research Blvd; pediatric care and Medicaid accepted.

My pick for an infant: Red Balloon or Sunny Hills, because they’re explicitly pediatric practices serving babies rather than general dentists who happen to see children.

I’d confirm the plan before booking. The Texas Medicaid directory also lists pediatric providers accepting patients as young as 0. DentaQuest

If you tell me your baby’s age (months) and which Medicaid dental plan you have, I can narrow this to the best match.

It’s a pediatric-focused practice, explicitly serves infants through teens, and reports accepting Texas Medicaid/CHIP. It’s also very convenient from Crestview. People's Community Clinic
2. Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry — 11149 Research Blvd. Pediatric specialists, including care for infants, and the practice reports accepting Medicaid/CHIP. This would be another strong choice if the location works for you.
3. Groovy Molar — 3410 Far West Blvd. A pediatric dental practice that specifically serves infants through teens and is led by a board-certified pediatric dentist. I would call to verify your particular Medicaid plan before booking.
4. Lucent Dentistry — 3909 N I-35. They explicitly accept Medicaid/CHIP and provide pediatric care, though they're more of a family/general dental practice than a pediatric-only office. Lucent Dentistry

My pick

I'd call Red Balloon first. It checks the three things you care about: close to Crestview, pediatric-focused, and infants + Medicaid/CHIP. Before scheduling, tell them the baby's age and the exact Medicaid dental plan (for example, DentaQuest) and ask them to verify the plan is accepted for a First Dental Home/infant exam.

Texas Medicaid's provider directory specifically recognizes providers accepting children from age 0, and the state's guidance recommends confirming the dentist is currently accepting your particular plan. DentaQuest Insure Kids Now

If you tell me which Medicaid plan you have (DentaQuest, MCNA, UnitedHealthcare Dental, etc.) and the baby's age, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options near Crestview.

• Central Texas Pediatric Dentistry - 1201 Barbara Jordan Blvd #1430, Austin, TX 78723
• Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin - 1139 W Braker Ln Ste 201, Austin, TX 78758
• Kidz Dental - 500 W William Cannon Dr #516, Austin, TX 78745
• Central Park Pediatric Dentistry - 1005 W 38th St #200, Austin, TX 78705
• Austin Kids Teeth - 6012 W William Cannon Dr Ste B102, Austin, TX 78749
• Tiny Texans Pediatric Dentistry - 11200 Menchaca Rd Bldg 4 Ste 1, Austin, TX 78748
• Super Kids Austin - 2410 E Riverside Dr, Austin, TX 78741
• Austin Pediatric Dentistry, PLLC - 6618 Sitio Del Rio Blvd Ste b102, Austin, TX 78730
• Longhorn Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics - 4638 West Gate Blvd #1, Austin, TX 78745
• Lone Star Pediatric Dental & Braces - South Austin - 2700 S 1st St, Austin, TX 78704
• Austin Pearls Pediatric Dentistry - 3607 Manor Rd #103, Austin, TX 78723
• Kids Tooth Team - 1217 W Slaughter Ln Ste 140, Austin, TX 78748

Yes — I’d narrow it down to Central Texas Pediatric Dentistry first.

• Central Texas Pediatric Dentistry — 1201 Barbara Jordan Blvd #1430, relatively convenient from Crestview. People’s Community Clinic lists it among Austin dental providers accepting Medicaid/CHIP, and the current DentaQuest Central Texas directory lists pediatric Medicaid providers with age 0 eligibility. Austin PCC DentaQuest
• Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin — 1139 W Braker Ln, a particularly convenient North Austin option from Crestview. I would call first to verify your specific Medicaid dental plan and infant/First Dental Home availability.
• Kidz Dental — 500 W William Cannon Dr, farther south, but their website explicitly says they partner with all state-funded Medicaid plans. Kidz Dental

My pick

Call Central Texas Pediatric Dentistry first. For an infant, I'd specifically ask: “Do you accept my child's Medicaid dental plan, are you accepting new infants, and can you provide a First Dental Home visit?” The DentaQuest directory specifically identifies providers accepting children from age 0, which is what you want. DentaQuest

If you tell me which Medicaid dental plan your baby has (DentaQuest, MCNA, Delta Dental, etc.) and the baby's age, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 offices near Crestview and verify the insurance match.

If by Crestview in North Austin you mean the Crestview neighborhood, I’d start with Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin.

Why it stands out:

• Pediatric-only practice and specifically sees infants, toddlers, kids and teens.
• Their information says they accept Texas Medicaid and CHIP.
• North Austin location: 1139 W Braker Ln, Suite 201.
• Phone: 512-502-5432. www.kidzdentalaustin.com

My other top choices

Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry — Research Blvd
Also a strong fit: pediatric specialists, infants through teens, and Medicaid/CHIP accepted. Their DentaQuest directory listing also shows an Austin-area provider accepting new patients and ages 0–110. www.dentaquest.com

Lucent Dentistry — N. I-35
Very convenient from Crestview, accepts Medicaid/CHIP, and explicitly offers pediatric care. The Medicaid directory lists them as accepting new patients and ages 0–110. www.lucentdentistryaustin.comwww.austinpcc.org

Central Texas Pediatric Dentistry — Mueller
Another true pediatric practice. A Medicaid provider directory lists this practice for ages 0–18 and accepting new patients. www.lucentdentistryaustin.comwww.austinpcc.org

For an infant specifically, my order would be:
1. Red Balloon → 2. Sunny Hills → 3. Central Texas Pediatric Dentistry → 4. Lucent.

One important thing: Medicaid acceptance can depend on your child's specific dental plan (DentaQuest, MCNA, etc.), so I'd tell the office the exact plan before booking and ask, “Do you accept my child's Medicaid dental plan, and are you currently accepting infants as new patients?” The federal InsureKidsNow locator also recommends confirming both network status and new-patient availability directly with the dentist. www.insurekidsnow.gov

If you tell me your baby's age and which Medicaid dental plan you have, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 offices closest to Crestview.

I can help — I’m assuming you mean Crestview in Austin, TX (the Crestview neighborhood), not Crestview, Florida. For an infant + Medicaid, I’d start with these:

1. CommunityCare Pediatric Dental Services — probably my first call for Medicaid.
   • Sees babies and toddlers for first dental visits
   • Accepts Medicaid/CHIP
   • Multiple Austin locations, including North Austin options communitycaretx.org

2. Kidz Dental Austin
   • Pediatric-focused office
   • States it works with state-funded Medicaid plans
   • Offers infant care www.kidzdentalaustin.com

3. myDental Norwood Park
   • Convenient if you’re near Crestview/North Austin
   • Sees infants, toddlers, children, and teens www.mydental.com

4. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry
   • Pediatric specialist listed in Medicaid provider directories
   • Accepts children starting at age 0 www.dentaquest.com

When you call, I’d ask:

• “Do you take my exact Medicaid dental plan?” (Texas Medicaid dental plans vary: DentaQuest, MCNA, UnitedHealthcare Dental, etc.) www.dentaquest.comwww.dshs.texas.gov
• “Do you see infants under 1 year old for a first dental visit?”
• “Are you accepting new Medicaid patients?”

If you tell me which Medicaid dental plan you have (for example MCNA, DentaQuest, UnitedHealthcare, Superior, etc.) and your baby’s age, I can narrow it to the best match. www.dentaquest.comwww.dshs.texas.gov

If you mean Crestview in Austin, my first choice would be Central Park Pediatric Dentistry.

• Why: Their pediatric Medicaid listing shows accepting new patients and ages 0–18, so an infant is within their listed age range. www.dentaquest.com
• Location: 1005 W. 38th St., Suite 200 — convenient from Crestview.
• Phone: 512-330-4624.
• They are specifically a pediatric dental practice, rather than a general dentist who happens to see children.

Two good backups

• Kidz Dental — South Austin; explicitly accepts state-funded Medicaid plans and specifically advertises infant care. www.kidzdentalaustin.com
• Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry — Research Blvd.; pediatric specialists who see infants through teens and state that they accept Medicaid/CHIP. dentistinaustintx.com

One important thing: Texas Medicaid dental coverage is administered through specific dental plans, so I'd tell the office your exact plan (for example, DentaQuest or MCNA) and ask them to verify it before booking. The state also recommends using the Medicaid/CHIP dentist locator for plan-specific verification. www.insurekidsnow.gov

If you tell me which Medicaid dental plan your baby has, I can narrow this down to the best match and check which offices are actually in-network.

• Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin - 1139 W Braker Ln Ste 201, Austin, TX 78758, United States
• Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry - 11149 Research Blvd #270, Austin, TX 78759, United States
• Kidz Dental - 500 W William Cannon Dr #516, Austin, TX 78745, United States
• Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry - 10510 W Parmer Ln #100, Austin, TX 78717, United States
• Central Texas Pediatric Dentistry - 1201 Barbara Jordan Blvd #1430, Austin, TX 78723, United States
• Shine Pediatric Dental Co. - 2631 Gattis School Rd Ste. 170, Round Rock, TX 78664, United States
• Subash Mutyala - 1139 W Braker Ln Ste 201, Austin, TX 78758, United States
• Lone Star Pediatric Dental & Braces - South Austin - 2700 S 1st St, Austin, TX 78704, United States

• Galaxia Dental - 8764 Research Blvd Ste d, Austin, TX 78758, United States
• Groovy Molar - 3410 Far W Blvd #310, Austin, TX 78731, United States

If by Crestview you mean the North Austin/Crestview neighborhood, I’d put Red Balloon Dentistry for Children at the top of your list. Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin

• Red Balloon — 1139 W Braker Ln: pediatric-only, specifically sees infants through teens, and lists Texas Medicaid/CHIP. It’s also quite close to Crestview. Austin PCC
• Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry — 11149 Research Blvd: another strong option; they see infants and state that they accept Medicaid/CHIP. Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry
• CommUnityCare/Carousel Pediatrics: probably the safest choice if Medicaid acceptance is your biggest concern. They explicitly offer first dental exams for babies/toddlers and accept Medicaid/CHIP. Their North Lamar location is at 9411 N Lamar Blvd. CommunityCare Home
• Kidz Dental — 500 W William Cannon: pediatric practice that explicitly advertises Medicaid and infant care, but it's much farther south from Crestview. Kidz Dental

My pick for you: Red Balloon first. It's pediatric-only, handles infants, accepts Medicaid/CHIP, and is conveniently located for Crestview.

One important caveat: Medicaid dental coverage depends on the child's specific Medicaid dental plan (such as DentaQuest, MCNA, etc.), so I'd have the office verify the exact plan before booking.

If you tell me which Medicaid dental plan your baby has (for example, DentaQuest or MCNA), I can narrow this down to the best match.

If you’re in Crestview (North Austin), I’d start with these:

1. Central Texas Pediatric Dentistry — 1201 Barbara Jordan Blvd. This is a true pediatric practice, and People’s Community Clinic specifically lists it among Austin dental providers accepting Medicaid/CHIP. www.austinpcc.org
2. Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin — 1139 W Braker Ln, very convenient to Crestview. Call first to confirm your specific Medicaid plan and infant age.
3. Loving Pediatric Dentistry — 7800 N Mopac Expy, another convenient North Austin option. Confirm Medicaid and infant appointments before booking.

Best match if the child is a baby

CommUnityCare/Carousel Pediatric Dental Services explicitly says they do first dental exams for babies and toddlers and accept Medicaid/CHIP. They have a North Lamar location at 9411 N. Lamar Blvd. (512-744-6000). communitycaretx.org

Another option worth knowing about is Kidz Dental: its Austin practice says it partners with all state-funded Medicaid plans, although I'd still call to confirm they accept your plan and the baby's age. www.kidzdentalaustin.com

My pick: I'd call Central Texas Pediatric Dentistry first, then CommUnityCare/Carousel if they can't get you in. Since Medicaid participation can depend on the particular managed-care dental plan, ask: “Do you accept my child's Medicaid dental plan, and do you see infants for their first dental visit?”

If you tell me which Medicaid plan you have (for example, MCNA, DentaQuest, UnitedHealthcare Dental, etc.) and how old the baby is, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 choices near Crestview.

Since you’re in Crestview (North Austin) and need (1) Medicaid, (2) infants/babies, and (3) a pediatric dentist, I’d start with these:

1. Red Balloon Dentistry for Children – Austin — probably my first call

Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin
Web
Address: 1139 W Braker Ln Ste 201, Austin, TX 78758, United States
Phone: +1 512-502-5432

• Why: Pediatric-only office, specifically geared toward infants, toddlers, kids, and teens. It lists acceptance of Texas Medicaid/CHIP (confirm your exact plan when booking).
• Location: North Austin (Braker area), which is convenient from Crestview.
• Ask for: “a first dental visit for an infant with Medicaid.”

2. Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry — another strong North Austin option

Phone: +1 512-346-1221

• Why: Pediatric specialty office that sees infants, children, and teens and lists Medicaid/CHIP acceptance.
• They have a North Austin/Research Blvd location that may be easy from Crestview.

3. Central Texas Pediatric Dentistry — good if you want a pediatric specialist near Mueller

Central Texas Pediatric Dentistry
Web
Address: 1201 Barbara Jordan Blvd #1430, Austin, TX 78723, United States
Phone: +1 512-474-7575

• Why: Pediatric-focused care, including first dental visits and preventive care.
• Verify your Medicaid dental plan before scheduling.

4. Kidz Dental — Medicaid-friendly and sees infants

Kidz Dental
Web
Address: 500 W William Cannon Dr #516, Austin, TX 78745, United States
Phone: +1 512-326-3473

• Why: Their materials indicate they see infants through teens and partner with Medicaid/state-funded plans. www.kidzdentalaustin.com
• Location is farther south, so I’d try the North Austin options first.

When you call, I’d ask:

1. “Do you accept my child’s exact Medicaid dental plan (MCNA, DentaQuest, UnitedHealthcare Dental, etc.)?”
2. “Do you see babies under age 1?”
3. “Are you accepting new Medicaid patients right now?”

Texas Medicaid dental plans can vary, and the state also recommends confirming with the dentist that they accept your specific plan before the visit. www.dshs.texas.gov

If you tell me your baby’s age and which Medicaid dental plan you have (MCNA, DentaQuest, United, etc.), I can narrow it to the best match.

Since you’re in Crestview, Austin, I’d prioritize Red Balloon Dentistry for Children or CommUnityCare/Carousel North Lamar.

My top picks

1. Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin — 1139 W Braker Ln
   • Pediatric-only practice
   • Specifically sees infants, toddlers, children and teens
   • Advertises acceptance of Texas Medicaid and CHIP
   • North Austin, so it’s a much more convenient drive from Crestview than the South Austin options.
   • This would be my first call if you want a dedicated pediatric dentist.

2. Carousel Pediatrics-North Lamar — 9411 N Lamar Blvd
   • Very Medicaid-friendly: CommUnityCare explicitly says its pediatric dental clinics accept Medicaid/CHIP
   • Offers first dental exams for babies and toddlers
   • Dental appointments are Monday–Thursday, 8–5, plus the first Saturday of the month. communitycaretx.orgcommunitycaretx.org
   • Phone: 512-744-6000
   • This is probably the best practical option if Medicaid coverage is your biggest concern.

3. Central Park Pediatric Dentistry — 1005 W 38th St
   • Excellent location for Crestview—quite close.
   • Dedicated pediatric practice.
   • However, I couldn't verify Medicaid acceptance from the current information I found, so I'd call before booking.

What I'd do

If your child is an infant and has Medicaid, I'd call Carousel North Lamar first, because their current information explicitly covers baby/toddler first exams + Medicaid. communitycaretx.orgcommunitycaretx.org

If you'd rather have a private pediatric-dentist office, call Red Balloon and ask them to verify your specific Medicaid dental plan before scheduling.

Texas Medicaid dental coverage is administered through dental plans such as DentaQuest, MCNA Dental, and UnitedHealthcare Dental, so the specific plan on your child's card matters. www.dshs.texas.gov

If you tell me which Medicaid plan you have (for example, MCNA, DentaQuest, UnitedHealthcare, Superior, etc.) and your baby's age, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 offices near Crestview that take that exact plan.

If by Crestview you mean the North Austin/Crestview neighborhood, I’d start with these:

1. Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin — my first call. It’s pediatric-only, specifically sees infants through teens, and the office says it accepts Texas Medicaid/CHIP. It’s at 1139 W Braker Ln, which is very convenient from Crestview. parklanedentalortho.com

2. Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry — another strong choice, especially if you want a board-certified pediatric dentist. They see infants and children and state that they accept Medicaid/CHIP. Their Research Blvd location is at 11149 Research Blvd. parklanedentalortho.com

3. Dr. Terry Lee, DDS / Carousel Pediatrics — probably the best Medicaid-focused backup. CommUnityCare explicitly says its pediatric dental services accept Medicaid/CHIP and provide first dental exams for babies and toddlers. There are locations on Ed Bluestein, Riverside, and North Lamar. communitycaretx.org

What I'd do

Call Red Balloon first and say:

“I’m in Crestview and my baby has Medicaid. Do you accept our specific Medicaid dental plan, and do you see infants for their first dental visit?”

One important point: “accepts Medicaid” isn't necessarily the same as accepting your particular Medicaid dental plan, so have the child's Medicaid card handy and ask them to verify it before booking.

If you tell me which Medicaid dental plan your baby has (for example, DentaQuest, MCNA, UnitedHealthcare Dental, etc.) and the baby's age, I can narrow this down to the best 1–2 offices for you.

For Crestview (North Austin), I’d start with these options. I’d call before booking and confirm your exact Medicaid dental plan (for example, Texas Medicaid plans can differ), but these look like the best matches for infants + Medicaid:

1. CommUnityCare North Lamar Pediatric Dental Clinic — my first choice for Medicaid

Carousel Pediatrics-North Lamar
Web
Address: 9411 N Lamar Blvd Ste 120, Austin, TX 78753, United States
Phone: +1 512-744-6000

• Sees babies, toddlers, and children
• Accepts Medicaid/CHIP
• Offers first dental exams for infants and preventive care
• Convenient from Crestview/North Austin communitycaretx.org

2. Kidz Dental Austin — good private pediatric option

Kidz Dental

Address: 500 W William Cannon Dr #516, Austin, TX 78745, United States
Phone: +1 512-326-3473

• Pediatric-focused office
• States it partners with state-funded Medicaid plans
• Kid-focused environment and bilingual staff www.kidzdentalaustin.com

3. Texas Capital Dental — close-ish and Medicaid-friendly

Texas Capital Dental
Web
Address: 1015 E Braker Ln #2, Austin, TX 78753, United States
Phone: +1 512-832-1121

• Accepts children’s Medicaid & CHIP
• Sees children from the first tooth onward
• More of a family practice than a pediatric-only office texascapitaldental.com

4. myDental Norwood Park — very close to Crestview

myDental at Norwood Park
Web
Address: 1045 Norwood Park Blvd Ste 103, Austin, TX 78753, United States
Phone: +1 512-815-3520

• Specifically mentions caring for infants and toddlers
• Convenient for Crestview/Brentwood/North Loop families
• I would verify Medicaid acceptance with your plan before scheduling because their listed insurance information varies by coverage type www.mydental.com

If this is for a baby under 1 year old, I’d lean toward CommUnityCare North Lamar first because Medicaid acceptance is clearly listed and infant visits are part of their services. communitycaretx.org

When you call, ask:

“Do you accept [your Medicaid plan name] for a baby’s first dental visit, and do you have a First Dental Home appointment?”

If you tell me your Medicaid plan name (STAR, STAR Kids, CHIP, DentaQuest, MCNA, etc.) and your baby’s age, I can narrow it down further.

Since you’re in Crestview, I’d book Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin first.

Why it looks like the best match:

• Very close to Crestview: 1139 W. Braker Ln., Suite 201.
• Pediatric-only Austin office that specifically sees infants, toddlers, children and teens and offers infant/toddler exams. redballoondentistry.comredballoondentistry.com
• Accepts Texas Medicaid and CHIP, including Traditional Medicaid and DentaQuest and MCNA plans, according to its published financial policy. redballoondentistry.com
• Phone: 512-502-5432. redballoondentistry.comredballoondentistry.com

Red Balloon — Austin pediatric dentistry

One thing I'd verify when booking: tell them the baby's exact Medicaid dental plan (e.g., DentaQuest, MCNA, etc.) and ask for an infant/first dental visit. Medicaid dental networks can vary by plan. www.insurekidsnow.gov

If you tell me which Medicaid plan your baby has, I can narrow this down further and give you the 2–3 best options closest to Crestview.

If you mean Crestview in Austin, I’d put Red Balloon Dentistry for Children at the top of the list. Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin

• Best fit: Pediatric-only practice that specifically sees infants, toddlers, kids and teens, and says it accepts Texas Medicaid/CHIP. It’s at 1139 W Braker Ln, Ste 201, which is very convenient from Crestview. www.austinpcc.org
• Phone: (512) 502-5432
• Backup: Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry — also specifically treats infants and accepts Medicaid/CHIP, at 11149 Research Blvd #270.
• Another strong option: Dr. Terry Lee, DDS at CommUnityCare/Carousel Pediatrics Springdale. Their pediatric dental program explicitly accepts Medicaid/CHIP and handles first dental exams for babies and toddlers. communitycaretx.org

My pick for an infant: Red Balloon first, because it combines pediatric-only care, infant experience, Medicaid/CHIP, and a location close to Crestview.

One important thing: Medicaid dental coverage is administered through different Texas dental plans, so confirm that they take your child's specific Medicaid dental plan when booking. The state recommends verifying the plan directly with the dental office. www.insurekidsnow.gov

If you tell me which Medicaid dental plan your baby has (for example, DentaQuest, MCNA, Delta Dental, UnitedHealthcare Dental, etc.), I can narrow it down to the best match.

If you mean Crestview in North Austin, I’d start with these:

1. Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin — 1139 W Braker Ln

This is probably my first call for an infant: it’s pediatric-only and specifically serves infants, toddlers, children and teens. Their practice information says they accept Texas Medicaid/CHIP. www.austinpcc.orgwww.galaxiadentalaustin.comwww.dentaquest.com

2. Galaxia Dental — 8764 Research Blvd

Very convenient from Crestview/North Austin. They explicitly say they see children starting at 6 months and accept Medicaid-CHIP. www.galaxiadentalaustin.com

3. Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry — Parmer Ln

A pediatric-specialty practice that sees infants and accepts Medicaid/CHIP. This would be a good choice if you want a pediatric dentist specifically, rather than a general family dentist. www.dentaquest.com

4. Kidz Dental — 500 W William Cannon

Pediatric-focused and explicitly says it partners with state-funded Medicaid plans. It's farther south, though. www.kidzdentalaustin.com

My pick

I’d call Red Balloon first, then Galaxia if they can't get your baby in promptly.

One important thing: “Medicaid” depends on the child's specific dental plan (such as DentaQuest, MCNA, etc.), so I'd give the office the exact plan name from your child's card and ask them to verify it before booking. Texas Medicaid dental coverage is administered through managed-care dental plans. www.dshs.texas.gov

If you tell me your baby's age and which Medicaid dental plan you have, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 offices near Crestview and give you their phone numbers and addresses.

I can help find the best pediatric dentist in Austin who accepts Medicaid and sees infants, but I need your city/state first because I can’t use the estimated location when location sharing is off.

genui{"ask_user_location_v2":{"suggested_cities":["Crestview, Austin, TX","Austin, TX","Round Rock, TX","Pflugerville, TX"]}}

If you’re in Crestview, I’d start with Kids Tooth Team. Kids Tooth Team

• Why it stands out: The current Texas Medicaid provider directory lists Kids Tooth Team as serving ages birth–17, accepting new patients, and specifically identifies pediatric dentists Sara Ehsani, DDS and Kaitlin Campbell, DDS there. directories.mcna.net
• Location: 1217 W Slaughter Ln, Suite 140 — south Austin, so it’s a bit of a drive from Crestview, but it checks the important boxes for an infant + Medicaid.
• Dr. Ehsani specifically describes her practice as caring for infants, children and adolescents. www.austinchildrensdentistry.com

But there’s an even closer option

Manor Kids Dentist is actually listed in the Texas Medicaid directory as ages birth–17, new patients, and it's in Manor. directories.mcna.net If minimizing the drive matters, I'd call them first and confirm they take your specific Medicaid dental plan (STAR/MCNA, DentaQuest, etc.) for an infant.

Another good Austin option is Central Texas Pediatric Dentistry, but I couldn't verify from the sources I found that they currently accept Medicaid, so I wouldn't put them ahead of the two above.

My order:

1. Manor Kids Dentist — closest and verified Medicaid + birth-age patients.
2. Kids Tooth Team — strongest pediatric/infant credentials and verified Medicaid + birth-age patients.

If you tell me which Medicaid dental plan your baby has (MCNA, DentaQuest, UnitedHealthcare Dental, etc.), I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 offices that definitely take that exact plan and are convenient from Crestview.

If you mean Crestview in Austin, I’d put Austin Children’s Dentistry at the top of your list for an infant.

• Austin Children's Dentistry — Their Austin office specifically treats infants, has a dedicated prenatal/infant oral-health program, and their pediatric dentist Dr. Sara Ehsani is board-certified and treats infants. They’re also listed in the June 2026 Central Texas Medicaid provider directory as accepting new patients and treating children from birth through age 23. www.austinchildrensdentistry.com

Book/contact Austin Children’s Dentistry

Other good choices:

• Sunny Hills Pediatric Dentistry — specifically serves infants and says it accepts Medicaid/CHIP. There are North Austin locations, which may be convenient from Crestview.
• Red Balloon Dentistry for Children- Austin — pediatric-only, serves infants through teens, and reports accepting Texas Medicaid/CHIP. It's at W. Braker, relatively convenient from Crestview.
• Groovy Molar — excellent pediatric-specific option and explicitly treats infants, but I'd verify your particular Medicaid plan before booking.

My pick: Austin Children’s Dentistry, especially if your baby is very young or this is their first dental visit. The combination of infant-specific care + pediatric specialist + Medicaid-directory listing makes it the strongest match.

One important thing: “Medicaid” depends on the child's specific dental plan (such as MCNA/DentaQuest/UnitedHealthcare, etc.), so I would confirm the plan before finalizing the appointment. The federal Medicaid/CHIP dentist locator also recommends confirming that the office is currently accepting your particular plan and new patients. www.insurekidsnow.gov

If you tell me which Medicaid plan your baby has (the name on the card), I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 offices near your Crestview home that take that exact plan.
