After-school appointments for Temecula families
School pickup, homework, practice: by the time a family's weekday settles down, most dental offices have closed. Anthem Dental - Temecula is open Mon–Fri 10 AM – 7 PM, the latest weekday hours of any Anthem office, so a child's cleaning can be booked for after school rather than instead of it.
Because Dr. Henry Abraham treats parents and grandparents as well as children, a family's appointments can sit side by side on one evening, with one dentist who knows everyone's history. Forms, insurance questions and aftercare instructions can be handled in English or in Spanish, whichever the family prefers.

Fitting children's checkups into the school year
The office is open Monday through Friday, 10 AM to 7 PM. Late-afternoon and early-evening slots are the ones that fit around a school day. A simple habit helps: book each child's next cleaning before you leave, and pick a weekday you know is free of practice or lessons.
When your child has a toothache before you can come in
- Have your child rinse with warm water, then gently floss around the sore tooth — a trapped piece of food is sometimes the whole problem.
- Hold a cold pack against the cheek if there is swelling.
- Give a children's pain reliever only as the package directs for your child, and never put aspirin against the gum.
- Call the office and describe what you see. Swelling in the face, a fever, or a tooth that has been knocked loose should be seen the same day.
Coming from around Temecula
Anthem Dental - Temecula is off Overland Drive at 29049 Overland Dr, Suite C, Temecula. Families from French Valley — most of which is served by the Temecula Valley Unified School District — and from Winchester, reached by Winchester Road, State Route 79, can fold an appointment into a trip into town. From Murrieta and Wildomar, I-15 is the usual route.
Parents and children, one evening
Because Dr. Henry Abraham sees adults as well as children, a parent's own checkup can be booked alongside a child's. The front desk can arrange the order — children first, so they are not waiting — and go over any treatment plan or estimate with you before anything is scheduled. The office is closed on weekends; for a Saturday problem, Anthem's Menifee office sees patients that day.
Two quiet ways to prevent cavities
Most childhood cavities start in the deep grooves on the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where bristles do not reach. A sealant is a thin coating painted into those grooves and hardened with a light; it takes minutes and needs no numbing. Fluoride varnish is brushed over the teeth after a cleaning and helps harden enamel against acid. Dr. Abraham will suggest either, both or neither depending on your child's teeth, and explain why.

FAQ
Children's visits in Temecula — your questions, answered.
How late can a child be seen in Temecula?
The Temecula office is open Mon–Fri 10 AM – 7 PM, so appointments are available after the school day on weekdays. The office is closed on weekends.
My child plays sports and knocked a tooth. What do I do?
For a knocked-out adult tooth, pick it up by the crown (not the root), rinse it briefly if it is dirty, and try to put it back in the socket; if you cannot, keep it in milk and call the office straight away. A knocked-out baby tooth should not be put back, but still call so the area can be checked.
Does Dr. Abraham see children as a family dentist?
Yes. His practice is general and family dentistry, so a child's care sits alongside the parents' rather than apart from it. He does not limit his practice to children, and if a child needs something outside what he provides he will say so plainly.
Is the office easy to reach from Murrieta or Wildomar?
Temecula borders Murrieta to the north and has three full interchanges on I-15, so most families from Murrieta and Wildomar come down the freeway to the office just off Overland Drive.
