Even with great home care, children can still develop cavities or experience dental injuries. Our team provides:
Every restorative treatment is performed with the utmost gentleness. We use child-friendly techniques and take steps to minimize anxiety and discomfort.
Dental sealants are one of the easiest and most effective ways to prevent cavities in kids. We often recommend sealants for molars and premolars—teeth with deep grooves where bacteria tend to accumulate.
Sealants:
The application process is quick, painless, and ideal for helping children maintain cavity-free smiles.
Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps protect children’s teeth from decay. Our fluoride varnish is safe, effective, and recommended for children at higher risk of cavities.
We believe patient education begins early. During each visit, we work with children to help them understand:
Parents also receive guidance on habits, nutrition, oral hygiene routines, and developmental milestones.

Most children benefit from checkups every six months. Some may require more frequent visits depending on their cavity risk, tooth alignment, or oral habits.
I don’t usually leave reviews, but I genuinely feel like I need to after the experience I had at Southern Dental on Bay Area — especially with Kris Styles and Dr. Fournier. When I first walked in, I was in rough shape. I had lost weight because I couldn’t eat without pain, and my confidence was at an all-time low. I felt like I was just getting by day to day. Kris was the first person I connected with, and right away I could tell he genuinely cared. He was straightforward, professional, and made me feel like I was being looked out for — not just treated like a number. He walked me through every step and followed through on everything he said. Dr. Fournier was just as solid. He listened, explained things clearly, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. He didn’t just fix my teeth — he gave me back the ability to eat normally and feel like myself again. If you’re thinking about going somewhere else, I’ll save you the time — don’t. This is the team you want. Real people, real results, and they actually care about getting it right. Thank you Kris and Dr. Fournier — I appreciate you both more than you know.
I love coming to Southern dental they are literally one of the best dental offices I’ve ever visited even when I had an emergency and it was towards the end of the day they still made time to see me and fix my tooth for a reasonable price as well I highly recommend them. The staff is friendly. The place is clean and it’s affordable and fair.
I had a deep cleaning on 01-15-2025, the best cleaning experience I’ve ever had. No pain, on time appointment, professional personnel, and one outstanding hygienist named Marilyn. I’ve scheduled my next appointment and requested the same hygienist, was doubtful about Southern Dental but now will recommend it to everyone. Ed Taylor
My first visit was great!! Kris has a warm genuine personality. Easy to talk to and understand. Dr Fournier is a perfectionist. Great work. I am so pleased.❤️
I’ve been going to the Baybrook location for many years and the staff are incredibly kind. The face of the location is Chris, he is the first person to greet you and the last person wishing you a wonderful day when exiting. He is very professional and personable. Thank you!!! 🙂
