Digital Dental X-Rays
As pediatric dental specialists, we will always aim to minimize the exposure of our patients to radiation and we are thankful that we can do just that with our digital X-rays in Montrose, CO. Digital X-rays significantly reduce exposure to radiation while providing the best available imaging to clearly evaluate the dental structures of your child’s developing mouth and jaw.
Dentists use X-rays to detect much more than just cavities. Here at Pediatric Dental Specialists of Western Colorado, we routinely use digital dental X-rays to look for erupting teeth, evaluate oral trauma, identify possible needs for orthodontic treatments in the future, and help avoid them if possible. In pediatric dentistry, we are often able to effectively find and treat dental problems early, avoiding costly complications.
It is recommended that dental X-rays be done every six months for children at high risk of dental caries. Otherwise, every 1-3 years is acceptable according to The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
We strive to use the safest and most effective procedures and techniques in the dental industry, including digital dental X-rays in Montrose for precise and efficient diagnostics. Your child’s dental health and overall well-being are of utmost importance to us, and before any tests, we will always discuss the benefits and risks involved. Together, we will partner with you to decide what tests and treatments are best for your child. Schedule an appointment today to give your child the expert, compassionate care they deserve.
