What Are Preventative Dental Services for Kids?
White dental crowns are made from a variety of materials and can be used as an alternative to stainless steel crowns, which are often used for molars. Bonded in place by glue, these crowns are less likely to trigger an allergic response than stainless steel crowns, making them a great option for young children.
The different materials that white dental crowns may be made of include the following:
Dental Cleanings
Regular cleanings are one of the most important preventative dental services for any patient, especially a child whose teeth are constantly changing and growing. Our team of dental professionals use these appointments to remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Your child’s teeth and gums should be cleaned by the dentist at least twice a year.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a translucent, plastic-like material that is applied to the tops of your child’s teeth to prevent cavities. These are especially great for little ones who may be just learning to brush their teeth and may not be doing the most comprehensive job.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride treatments are a preventative dental service that can be helpful when looking to strengthen a patient’s tooth enamel and prevent cavities from forming.
Mouthguards
A custom-made mouthguard can protect a child’s teeth and gums from injury during physical activity or while they are sleeping if they have been found to grind their teeth at night. This can help prevent chips or cracks in the teeth from forming, saving you a trip to the emergency dentist!
Oral Cancer Screenings
It is never too early to ensure your child is healthy and not showing any warning signs of oral cancer. Early detection of oral cancer increases the success rate of treatment in the event that it is necessary. In many cases, early detection means that any signs of potential cancer in the mouth can be dealt with before a serious issue arises.
Space Maintainers
This is a specialized oral appliance that keeps the remaining teeth steady after a tooth is lost. This is often a great option for young children losing their baby teeth and waiting on adult teeth to come in.
Periodic X-rays
Taking x-rays of the teeth, gums, and jaw allow us to monitor growth within the teeth and mouth and rule out any abnormalities.
Proper nutrition and dietary habits, brushing and flossing regularly, and oral health education are also all preventative steps that you and your child can practice at home to help keep their smile bright and healthy!

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.
