Digital X-Rays
X-Rays play a crucial role in the treatment of your child by allowing us to see areas that are not visible to the naked eye. Digital X-Rays offer numerous benefits, including reduced radiation exposure, immediate viewing of the images, and the ability to zoom in for better patient education. The decision to take dental X-Rays will be based on your child's unique medical and dental history, examination findings, age, and risk of decay. We will recommend X-Rays as needed to ensure the best possible care for your child.
Is a digital X-Rays really safer?
We prioritize your child's physical health and overall well-being, which is why we emphasize the importance of minimizing radiation exposure. While dental X-Rays use a small amount of radiation, the cumulative effect is significant. By switching to digital X-Rays, we can decrease your child's radiation exposure by up to 80%!
At our practice, we prioritize your child's comfort during their appointment by using digital X-Rays. This technology eliminates the discomfort of biting down on sharp film encased in plastic and eliminates the need to wait for film development, making the checkup shorter. Digital X-Rays also allow for images to be enlarged and manipulated for a clearer view of your child's teeth, helping them better understand the importance of dental care. In addition, digital X-Rays are more environmentally friendly as they eliminate the need for harmful chemicals used in film processing. We are committed to providing a positive dental experience for your child and are happy to address any questions at your next appointment.
