Why Children Need Prompt Cavity Treatment
Small cavities grow larger when left untreated. What starts as minor decay can progress into bigger problems requiring more complex treatment. Addressing cavities early keeps procedures simple and preserves more of your child’s natural tooth structure.
Baby teeth matter more than many parents realize. They hold space for permanent teeth to come in properly and help children speak clearly. Primary teeth also allow kids to chew food effectively, supporting good nutrition during important growth years.
Cavities often cause tooth sensitivity and pain. Your child might struggle to eat certain foods or have trouble concentrating at school. Fillings eliminate this discomfort and restore normal tooth function so your child can get back to being a kid.
Today’s filling materials look natural and last well. Tooth-colored fillings blend seamlessly with your child’s smile while standing up to daily wear from chewing and biting.
Our Approach to Pediatric Fillings
We start each filling appointment with a careful examination. Dr. Bennion assesses the affected tooth and reviews your child’s overall oral health to determine the best treatment approach for their specific situation.
Making kids comfortable during dental procedures is our priority. We explain what’s happening in age-appropriate language and take time to answer questions. Many children feel nervous at first, but relax once they understand the process.
We use gentle numbing techniques designed for pediatric patients. Your child won’t feel pain during the filling procedure. We verify complete numbness before beginning any work and check in regularly throughout treatment.
Our comprehensive services mean we can coordinate multiple treatments when needed. This approach minimizes the total number of appointments your child needs while ensuring thorough care.

What Happens During the Filling Appointment
Before starting treatment, we review your child’s medical history and discuss any concerns you or your child has. This consultation ensures everyone feels comfortable proceeding.
The numbing process uses child-friendly techniques. We give the anesthetic time to work fully before beginning the filling procedure. Your child will feel pressure but no pain during treatment.
Dr. Bennion carefully removes the decayed portion of the tooth while preserving healthy tooth structure. Precision matters here because we want to maintain as much of the natural tooth as possible.
We place tooth-colored filling material that bonds directly to the remaining tooth. These modern materials provide strength and durability while matching your child’s natural tooth color. The result looks and functions like a healthy tooth.

Beyond fillings, we provide complete pediatric dental care. Sedation options help anxious children receive necessary treatment in a relaxed, comfortable setting.
Preventive care forms the foundation of good oral health. Regular cleanings, exams, and protective treatments like sealants help prevent cavities from forming in the first place.

Dr. Kristopher “Kit” Bennion
Board Certified Pediatric Dentist
I’m excited to open Guadalupe Kids Dental and to be part of the community of Seguin and the surrounding area. My family and I have been in Texas since 2008, when I completed my Pediatric Dental Residency at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and University of Pennsylvania. As part of my pediatric dental training I received extensive training in sedation dentistry and the treatment and management of medically complex pediatric patients.
My wife and I have been blessed with seven wonderful children, including my son who was born with Down Syndrome. I know that each child is unique and requires personalized care. My goal is to treat every child as I would treat my own, working together with them and their care givers to provide the care that is right for each individual child. I emphasize prevention, education and when necessary, the most conservative treatment possible.
I want to make sure that every patient and their families enjoy their dental visit and leaves confident and excited to return.
