Digital X-Rays for Children
Digital x-rays allow us to detect cavities while they’re still small, often making it possible to use less invasive treatment. In some cases, if decay is caught early enough, simple improvements to your child’s home care routine may stop it from progressing.
With digital imaging, our doctors can also check for teeth that haven’t yet erupted, evaluate jaw and tooth development, and determine whether orthodontic treatment may be needed in the future.
Today’s digital x-ray technology uses significantly lower radiation than traditional methods. Combined with protective lead aprons and taking x-rays only when necessary, your child’s exposure is kept to a minimum.
