Dental X-rays
What are Dental X-Rays?
X-rays are a valuable tool in the examination process allowing the dentist to not only detect and prevent cavities, but also monitor oral disease, manage and evaluate trauma, and monitor the development of teeth. In addition, X-rays help monitor the progress of past dental therapy that may have been completed.

How often are X-rays needed and what can be expected?
Even though x-rays are low in radiation, every effort is made to minimize the amount of radiation exposure. Images are taken every 6 months – 18 months, depending on each child’s individual circumstances and needs. Each child wears a lead apron. We use the latest digital technology allowing us to take x-rays with the lowest radiation possible. Comfortability and safety are our biggest priorities.
