24. Do you do X-Rays, and are they safe?

Even for young children who only have their primary teeth, x-rays play a big role in their dental health. X-rays are our best way to make sure teeth are coming in properly, that they are healthy and that unseen problems are not cropping up. Besides helping us find decay, x-rays also enable us to see how permanent teeth are coming in and help our orthodontists in planning for treatment.
​
Think of x-rays as a way to find dental problems early, so it is easier and more affordable to treat your child. We use digital x-rays and take particular care so that your child receives the least amount of exposure.

For a growing child, we suggest x-rays every six month. It’s one of the best ways we can make sure your child keeps smiling.
