Community Involvement at Guadalupe Kids Dental
A dental practice that shows up for the community between appointments is a practice that truly believes in what it does. For children to grow up with healthy habits, they need to encounter oral health education everywhere—in classrooms, at local events, and at home—not just in a dental chair.
At Guadalupe Kids Dental, that belief drives everything we do. Under the care of board-certified pediatric dentist Dr. Kristopher “Kit” Bennion, our team serves families across Seguin, Stockdale, Gonzales, Marion, Navarro Ranch, and New Braunfels. You can learn more about our practice and team to see what sets us apart.
Reaching Kids Where They Are
Getting dental education into children’s hands early is one of the most effective ways to prevent the problems we treat every day. That is why we make it a priority to visit the places children already spend their time.
School and Daycare Visits
We visit elementary schools throughout Seguin, Stockdale, Gonzales, Marion, and Navarro Ranch each year, with additional visits to select schools in New Braunfels. Our team also connects with students at middle schools in Seguin and Stockdale and reaches younger children through daycare visits in Seguin. Every February, during Dental Awareness Month, we head back to those same schools to reinforce what children have already learned and make oral health feel like something worth caring about.
Our school visits are rooted in the same prevention-first philosophy that guides our clinical approach. We keep conversations age-appropriate and encouraging. The goal is to build confidence, not anxiety, around dental care.
Why This Outreach Matters
According to the CDC, from 2016 to 2021, there was a roughly 10% decrease in the percentage of low-income children who had a preventive dental visit in the past year. That gap is exactly what community outreach programs are built to address. By showing up in schools, daycares, and community spaces, we help put dental health information directly in front of the families who need it most.
The children we meet at school events are the same children we want to see in our office: relaxed, informed, and excited about their checkups. Community education makes that possible.

Community Initiatives We Are Proud Of
Our team has participated in a range of events and programs that reflect the values of the communities we serve. Each one is a chance to show families that pediatric dental care is about more than procedures — it is about people. Here is a look at what we have been involved in:
- Special needs little league: We sponsored a special needs little league team in Seguin, a cause that aligns directly with our dedication to special needs dental care and inclusive pediatric dentistry.
- Blue Christmas: We supported Blue Christmas in Seguin, a program where local law enforcement provides gifts to children across the city.
- Military family dental day: We offered free dental care for active duty and veteran military families in Seguin, Marion, Navarro Ranch, and New Braunfels.
- Special Needs Awareness Fair: We attended and supported the Special Needs Awareness Fair in New Braunfels, where inclusion and access are at the forefront.
Each of these programs reflects the same values we bring into our office every day: compassion, accessibility, and genuine care for every child and family we meet.
Why Community Involvement Is Part of How We Practice Dentistry
Dr. Bennion opened Guadalupe Kids Dental with a clear vision — to build a practice that is patient-focused, prevention-minded, and deeply connected to the communities it serves. Community involvement is not an add-on for us; it is part of how we practice dentistry every single day.
When children see a friendly face from a dental office at their school or at a local event, the dentist becomes someone familiar rather than someone to fear. That familiarity leads to better appointments, more comfortable kids, and families who feel confident keeping up with regular care. It is also why we invest so much in first infant visits — because the earlier children build a positive relationship with dental care, the better their long-term outcomes tend to be.
