What are Digital Dental X-rays?
Digital dental x-rays, or digital dental radiographs, are administered during a dental exam to provide a better picture of the mouth. Dental x-rays allow pediatric dentist Dr. Kent N. Do to diagnose problems that are not easily visible and to understand more about your child's oral health by showing the inside of their teeth, gums, and jawbone. There are numerous dental concerns that can be diagnosed with digital dental x-rays, such as tooth decay, cavities, abscesses, cysts, bone loss, and impactions. When these problems are identified in the early stages, they may have more effective and less invasive treatment options. As part of a dental examination at South Coast Pediatric Dentistry in Santa Ana, CA, digital dental imaging will help Dr. Kent accurately diagnose and treat dental conditions.
What Should MY Child Expect with Digital Dental X-rays?
Often performed at the beginning of their appointment, digital dental x-rays take about 5 – 10 minutes to complete. Many patients will have a set of dental x-rays taken to include all sections. Once complete, they are uploaded and can be viewed by you and Dr. Kent during their appointment. He can assess any abnormalities and discuss possible treatments.
