2. Children’s mouths grow quickly, and changes
occur that cannot be seen in a visual exam. Your
child’s dental exam will include x-rays every 12-
18 months to evaluate the teeth and mouth for
conditions such as cavities, erupting teeth, extra
or missing teeth, and bone disease. To protect
your child, our office uses the most recent digital
technology, which has significantly improved the
safety, comfort, and speed of x-rays:
3. At the check-up, which typically takes 30-60 minutes, we will take digital x-rays, if necessary,
which have the following benefits:
Exposure to radiation is reduced by 80 – 90%!
A sensor in the mouth replaces the awkward biting down on the sharp corners of plastic
cases.
With images available in seconds, there is no waiting for film to develop and visits are shorter.
Images can be enhanced to show the fine details, allowing the doctor to diagnose conditions
in the very early stages.
4. With digital x-rays, the staff at Tooth Buds Pediatric Dentistry can provide the safest and
most pleasant dental experience for you and your child.
