Dr. Todd Hillyard brings his energy for life to his work as a pediatric dentist. He earned his DDS from (UTSA) the University of Texas-San Antonio, with magna cum laude honors, completed a specialty residency in Pediatric Dentistry at the University of California- Los Angles, and is Board Certified. He is an active member of local, state, and national dental and pediatric dental societies.
Dr. Todd was one of the founders of Adventure Dental Pediatric Dentists & Orthodontics and wanted to create a place where children would look forward to visiting the dentist. He has a special place in his heart for kids with special needs–his younger brother, Matt, had Down syndrome, and his son, Matthew, has Phelan-McDermid Syndrome, which causes autism, apraxia, profound intellectual delays, and other physical and psychiatric conditions. Being a ‘big kid’ himself, he has a way of connecting to all of his patients and making them feel at ease in the dental chair.
Todd has recently expanded his interest in dentistry to include the study of sleep struggles children experience. For years, he has noticed evidence of airway issues in kids. He has heard parents describe sleep patterns that impact their quality of life, which has led him to learn how to help solve this issue early to avoid complications that arise in adulthood.
