Dental Care for Children Near Me

Your family dentist in Stockton offers complete dental care for all. That way, you don’t have to juggle multiple dentists to meet the needs of your entire family. Instead, we have all you need under one roof. Valley View Dental provides a variety of pediatric dentistry services near you, such as:

Tooth-Colored Fillings: In the early years of life, the most common dental problem is cavities. For that reason, we offer tooth-colored restorations to repair and protect your child’s developing smile. Our fillings keep bacteria out and stop the spread of decay.

Professional Fluoride Treatments: Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral proven to strengthen and restore weakened tooth enamel. The mineral also provides cavity-fighting protection. Your dentist in Stockton, CA, may apply either a gel, foam, or fluoride rinse. Since we do this during a routine checkup, there’s no need to book an extra appointment.

Dental Sealants: Your child can avoid early cavities with dental sealants. This transparent coating shields the chewing surfaces of back teeth so bacteria can’t attack. Even more, the application process is fast and painless. In just a short time, your child can enjoy years of added cavity-fighting protection.
