What to Expect During Your Child’s Dental Exam & Cleaning
The foundation of pediatric dentistry begins with regular examinations and professional cleanings. These appointments allow our team to monitor your child’s dental development, identify potential issues early, and provide preventative care that minimizes the need for more extensive treatments later.
Comprehensive Dental Assessment
During your child’s visit to our Seguin office, we conduct a thorough examination of their teeth, gums, and oral structures. This evaluation includes checking for proper tooth development, assessing bite alignment, and examining the health of existing teeth. For many children, digital dental X-rays may be recommended to detect problems invisible to the naked eye, using minimal radiation for maximum safety.
Professional Teeth Cleaning
Even with excellent home care routines, professional cleanings every six months help remove plaque and tartar buildup regular brushing might miss. Our gentle dental hygienists use kid-sized equipment specifically designed for young patients, making the cleaning process comfortable and stress-free. We take the time to demonstrate proper brushing techniques tailored to your child’s developmental stage, reinforcing the habits that lead to lifelong oral health.

The Importance of Early Dental Visits
Starting dental visits by your child’s first birthday creates a foundation for positive dental experiences. These early appointments are primarily educational, allowing children to become familiar with the dental environment before they need any significant treatment.
Building Comfort and Trust
At Guadalupe Kids Dental, we understand the importance of addressing dental anxiety in children and take proactive steps to create a comfortable environment from the very beginning. Our kid-friendly office in Seguin features an environment designed specifically to put children at ease. From the waiting room to the treatment areas, everything is created with young patients in mind, helping transform dental visits from potential sources of stress into enjoyable experiences.
Detecting Dental Issues Early
Regular dental checkups allow us to identify and address potential problems before they become serious concerns. From early childhood tooth decay to developmental issues, our specialized training enables us to spot subtle signs that might otherwise go unnoticed until they cause discomfort or require extensive treatment.
Preventative Dental Care for Growing Smiles
Prevention forms the cornerstone of our approach at Guadalupe Kids Dental, helping your child maintain optimal oral health throughout their developmental years.
Fluoride Treatments for Stronger Teeth
Professional fluoride treatments provide an additional layer of protection against childhood cavities. These quick, painless applications strengthen tooth enamel, making teeth more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars. For children at higher risk for cavities, these treatments can make a significant difference in preventing decay.
Dental Sealants for Added Protection
Dental sealants offer exceptional protection for the deep grooves of back teeth where toothbrushes often can’t reach effectively. We may recommend these protective coatings to shield vulnerable teeth from decay, particularly as permanent molars emerge. This simple preventative measure can reduce cavity risk by up to 80% in treated teeth.
Specialized Care for Every Child’s Needs
Every child deserves dental care tailored to their unique requirements, which is why our approach focuses on individual needs rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
Accommodating Children with Special Needs
As the father of a child with Down Syndrome, Dr. Bennion brings personal understanding and specialized training to treating children with special needs. Our office is equipped to provide comfortable, adapted care for children with various developmental, physical, or sensory challenges, ensuring every child receives the dental care they deserve in an environment where they feel safe and understood.

Meet your doctor
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.
