Digital X-Rays

X-rays are a vital tool in our efforts to provide the best care for your child. They allow us to visualize areas between the teeth and beneath the gumline. The advantages of digital X-rays include substantially reduced radiation exposure, immediate access to radiographic images, and the ability to zoom in on the images to enhance patient education. Digital Dental X-rays are necessary on a case-by-case basis, considering your child's medical and dental history, clinical examination, specific signs or symptoms, age, and the risk of dental decay. Our Little Dental Pediatric Dentistry dentists will recommend Digital X-rays based on these factors.

Is the Safety of Digital X-Rays a Valid Concern?

As we prioritize your child's physical health and overall well-being, we consider minimizing radiation exposure of utmost importance. While the radiation levels in dental X-rays are already minimal, it's essential to remember that the effects are cumulative, and every bit of radiation matters. Digital X-rays, on the other hand, can decrease your child's radiation exposure by as much as 80%, significantly reducing it.

What are the benefits of utilizing digital X-rays?

Our primary goal is to make your child's appointment as comfortable as can be, and digital X-rays remove the necessity of biting onto a sharp film enclosed in plastic.

You won't have to wait for X-ray film development; therefore, the entire checkup can be much shorter.

Digital images can be enlarged and manipulated, giving the doctor a precise and more detailed examination of your child's teeth.

When your child can see the enlarged image on a screen, it can help them better understand the importance of maintaining their dental health.

It's also environmentally friendly! Digital X-rays eliminate the need for harmful chemicals used in film processing.

Our practice ensures your child's dental experience is as comfortable as possible. During your upcoming appointment with us, we'll gladly address any questions or concerns you may have.
