At our pediatric dental practice, our advanced X-ray technology allows us to see your child’s teeth, roots, jaw alignment, and facial bone health. Our low-radiation digital X-rays provide instant images using electronic receptors, reducing radiation by up to 90% compared to traditional X-rays. This means safer and more precise detection of abscesses, cysts, tumors, cavities, and periodontal disease, enhancing the quality of our dental care.
Pediatric dentists utilize dental X-rays to diagnose and prevent dental issues in children. These X-rays uncover hidden decay, assess space for permanent teeth, and track the loss of primary teeth. They also reveal the positioning of adult teeth, identify extra or missing teeth, and anticipate potential concerns with wisdom teeth. Furthermore, X-rays aid in planning orthodontic treatment for children.
Pediatric dental X-rays are tailored to each child’s needs, following ADA guidelines. Digital radiography is used judiciously for safety. Frequency varies: high-risk children may need them every 6-12 months, while low-risk ones may require them every 1-2 years. X-rays track tooth and jaw growth and detect injury damage.
Ensuring your child’s safety is our priority. Our pediatric dental practice utilizes digital radiography, which minimizes radiation exposure. Protective measures such as lead aprons and shields are standard during X-rays to further reduce any potential exposure. With high-speed digital film, we capture accurate images while keeping radiation levels as low as possible.
