Our pediatric dentist and team prioritize your child’s oral health and comfort. One of the advanced tools we use to achieve this is digital X-rays. This imaging technology is essential in providing comprehensive care for your child’s smile.
Digital X-rays are exceptionally safe and efficient, utilizing up to 90% less radiation compared to traditional film X-rays. This significant reduction in radiation exposure ensures that your child’s safety is our top priority. The process is not only safer but also faster and more comfortable. The images of your child’s mouth are captured swiftly and displayed almost instantaneously on a monitor, allowing for immediate review and diagnosis.
These high-quality images are incredibly detailed, enabling our dentists to detect potential issues early. With digital X-rays, we can accurately diagnose and treat a range of dental problems, including:
- Cavities and tooth decay, even in areas that are hard to see.
- Developmental abnormalities in teeth and jaw.
- Misalignment or improper positioning of tooth roots.
- Soft tissue concerns such as tumors, cysts and abscesses.
- Fractures or cracks in the teeth.
- Infections affecting the tooth nerves.
Digital X-rays are also invaluable in planning various treatments. Whether your child requires oral surgery, orthodontic care or other dental procedures, these images provide a clear roadmap for effective treatment planning.
We understand that as a parent, you want the best for your child’s dental health. Our commitment to using advanced technology like digital X-rays reflects our dedication to providing top-notch care.
