Pediatric Dental X-Rays

Schedule Your Child's Dental X-Rays for Better Health

Dental X-rays are a vital part of your child's complete oral healthcare at Wilmington Pediatric Dentistry. These diagnostic images help our board-certified pediatric dentists see what's happening beneath the surface and find problems that regular check-ups might miss. We use modern digital X-ray technology that reduces radiation exposure while providing clear images of your child's teeth, roots, jaw, and facial bones.

Our pediatric dental X-ray services include:

• Bitewing X-rays to find cavities between teeth
• Periapical X-rays to check roots and surrounding bone
• Panoramic X-rays to view the entire mouth at once
• Occlusal X-rays to monitor tooth development
• Digital imaging with reduced radiation exposure
• Instant results for quick diagnosis

We know many parents worry about X-ray safety. That's why we follow strict guidelines and use protective equipment like lead aprons and thyroid collars. Our digital X-ray technology reduces radiation exposure by up to 80% compared to older film X-rays.Reach out to us to learn more about how we keep your child safe during dental imaging.

Pediatric Dental X-Rays: Essential for Complete Oral Health

Dental X-rays are key to maintaining your child's oral health because they help dentists spot problems that aren't visible during regular check-ups. Here's why your child might need dental X-rays:

• Finding cavities between teeth early before they cause pain
• Tracking tooth development patterns
• Spotting impacted teeth or growth issues
• Checking injuries to teeth and supporting structures
• Planning orthodontic treatment
• Checking the position of teeth that haven't erupted yet
• Finding infections at the tooth root

How often your child needs X-rays depends on their specific needs, oral health history, and risk for dental problems. Children typically need X-rays more often than adults because their mouths grow and change quickly, and they get cavities more easily. Our dentists carefully check each child to decide when dental imaging is needed.
