Children's Dentistry in Menifee
At the Menifee Town Center office, parents and their children see the same dentist — Dr. Henry Abraham, a general and family dentist — and new-patient exams, cleanings and emergency visits can be booked on Saturdays, so school days stay school days.
25,000+ patients served across our 3 offices
Kids' checkups without missing class
The hardest part of a child's dental visit is often the calendar. Anthem Dental Menifee is open Mon–Sat 10 AM – 6 PM, and on Saturdays the office books new-patient exams, cleanings and emergency visits — so a child's six-monthly visit can land on a weekend instead of pulling them out of school.
Your child's checkup is with Dr. Henry Abraham, the same general and family dentist who treats adults here. He can see a parent and a child on the same morning, and he knows the family's history the next time either of them comes in. When one parent is more at ease in Spanish, the front desk can take the call, the forms and the aftercare in Spanish.

A child's visit in Menifee
What happens at a first visit, and how to get ready for it
A first visit is mostly about getting comfortable. Your child meets the team, sits in the chair, and Dr. Henry Abraham counts and looks at the teeth, checks the gums and the bite, and talks with you about brushing, snacks and anything you have noticed. X-rays and a cleaning follow when they are due and when your child is ready for them. Nothing is rushed on the first day.
Getting ready at home
- Talk about the visit in plain, calm words. "The dentist will count your teeth" works better than promises that nothing will hurt.
- Book a time when your child is usually rested and fed, not straight after a long day.
- Bring the insurance or Medi-Cal card, and a list of any medicines your child takes.
- Arrive a few minutes early to fill in the health history forms.
- If you would rather go through the forms in Spanish, ask at the front desk.
Making Saturday the routine
The Menifee office is open Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM, and Saturday is a normal working day here, with the same hours as a weekday. One way to make it a routine: every six months, one Saturday morning, everyone's cleaning back to back. Ask the front desk to book the next round before you leave, while the calendar is in front of you.
Getting to Menifee Town Center
The office is at 30145 Antelope Road, Suite 105, Menifee, in Menifee Town Center. Families from Sun City, Romoland and Perris typically come along I-215 or Newport Road; from Canyon Lake, Railroad Canyon Road leads into Menifee.
When it can't wait
A chipped front tooth after a fall, a toothache that wakes a child at night, or swelling in the face all deserve a call the same day. Saturday emergency visits can be booked here. See the Menifee emergency dentist page for first steps while you arrange a visit.
What a child's checkup includes
A routine visit for a child is a cleaning, a look at every tooth and at the gums, and X-rays when they are due. Fluoride varnish can be brushed on at the end, and sealants can be painted onto the chewing grooves of back teeth that are prone to cavities — neither needs numbing or drilling. If a cavity is found, you will see it on the screen, hear the options, and get an estimate before anything is scheduled.

FAQ
Children's visits in Menifee — your questions, answered.
Can my child's cleaning be on a Saturday?
Yes. At the Menifee office, new-patient exams, cleanings and emergency visits can be booked on Saturdays (Mon–Sat 10 AM – 6 PM). It is worth booking the next Saturday visit before you leave.
Is Dr. Abraham a children's specialist?
No — he is a general and family dentist. Treating children is part of looking after whole families, which is how he practices. If a child ever needs care beyond what a general dentist provides, he will tell you plainly.
Can I book my children and myself back to back?
Yes. Tell the front desk who is coming and they will line the appointments up so the family is in and out in one trip to Menifee Town Center.
Which insurance do you take for children?
Most major PPO plans, Delta Dental Premier and PPO among them, are in-network here, and Medi-Cal Dental and IEHP are accepted too. Coverage for your child is checked before the visit, not after it.
