Benefits of Pediatric X-Rays

How the Procedure Works

Before your appointment, reassure your child that x-rays are a simple and painless way to check their teeth, inform the dentist of any recent dental issues or medical conditions that could affect the procedure, and ensure your child brushes their teeth beforehand for clearer imaging results. During a pediatric x-ray appointment, a small digital sensor is gently placed in your child’s mouth to capture images of their teeth, gums, and jaw. The process is quick, painless, and designed to keep your child comfortable. These high-resolution images are displayed instantly on a monitor, allowing our dentists to assess your child’s oral health in real time. If needed, the x-rays help us develop preventive or corrective plans, such as addressing cavities, monitoring tooth eruption, or planning orthodontic treatments. After the appointment, follow any advice from the dentist, such as adjustments to brushing or dietary habits, review the x-ray results to understand any next steps in your child’s care, and schedule routine visits to monitor their oral health and development.
