Here at Southern Stars Pediatric Dentistry, we prioritize your child’s health and comfort, which is why we have incorporated digital X-rays into our dental care routine. This technology represents a significant leap in dental imaging, offering a safer and more efficient way to monitor your child’s oral health.
What are Digital X-Rays?
Digital X-rays are a form of dental imaging that uses digital sensors instead of traditional photographic X-ray film. They capture detailed images of your child’s teeth, gums and jaw, helping our pediatric dentists and team identify issues like cavities, tooth misalignments and other potential oral health concerns.
What to Expect During a Digital X-Ray
Your child’s experience with digital X-rays will be quick and comfortable. The process involves placing a small sensor in their mouth, which is connected to a computer. In just a few seconds, we capture a clear image that can be viewed immediately. It is a simple, non-invasive procedure that involves minimal discomfort.
