Digital X-rays are a modern, low-radiation imaging tool that helps us detect dental issues that may not be visible during a routine exam. At Crossroads Pediatric Dentistry, we use digital radiography to get a clear, detailed view of your child’s teeth, gums, and developing jaw.

This advanced technology allows us to identify cavities, monitor tooth development, and plan treatments with greater accuracy—all while using significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays.

Digital X-rays are a valuable part of routine dental care, especially as your child grows and their smile changes. They are commonly recommended during checkups, when evaluating cavities, or before treatments like extractions or orthodontic planning.Our team determines the frequency of X-rays based on your child’s age, dental history, and risk of tooth decay. We only recommend them when necessary, ensuring every scan has a clear purpose.

Digital X-rays offer several important advantages. They expose children to much lower radiation levels compared to traditional film-based X-rays, making them a safer choice. The images are instantly available on-screen, which means quicker diagnostics and easier communication with parents.

These X-rays also produce sharper images, allowing us to spot issues early and treat them before they become more serious. Plus, there’s no film or chemical processing involved, making them faster and more environmentally friendly.

At Crossroads Pediatric Dentistry, we approach extractions with compassion and care. Whether a tooth is severely decayed, infected, or affecting alignment, we make the process as gentle and stress-free as possible.Our team uses kid-friendly explanations, offers sedation when needed, and provides clear aftercare instructions to support quick healing. We’re committed to ensuring every child feels safe, supported, and confident throughout their visit.
