Dr. Howard H. Hunt Jr, DDS

Pediatric dentistry isn’t just about smaller chairs and flavored toothpaste—it’s about timing. First molars erupt around age six, canines by twelve; those years set the tone for a lifetime of check-ups. Dr. Howard H. Hunt Jr, DDS keeps that schedule in focus on Griner Street, where the low-slung storefronts give way to quiet side streets just off the main drag.

Del Rio’s east side feels like a place where families actually live—no tourist traffic, just the occasional pickup idling outside the taquería. The office sits at 320 Griner St, Del Rio, TX 78840, a block where the pavement stays warm most of the year and the mesquites cast long shadows by late afternoon. It’s the kind of address you scribble on a sticky note and hope you don’t lose before the first appointment.

Routine cleanings, sealants, and space maintainers are the bread and butter here; the occasional emergency crown or thumb-sucking consult gets slotted in without fanfare. Parents who prefer a dentist who speaks to kids directly—no baby talk, no forced cheer—tend to circle back after the initial visit. The calendar fills up quickly once school lets out, so it’s wise to book ahead rather than wait for a postcard reminder.

Questions about fluoride varnish or interceptive orthodontics can be sorted out by calling (830) 778-5437. Directions are straightforward: pull up the map here and follow the pin to the east-side strip where the street numbers climb into the three-hundreds.
