Dental X-Rays
At North Shore Pediatric Dentistry we use state of the art digital radiographs (x-rays) which significantly reduce radiation exposure compared to conventional x-rays by 25%. We also practice a conservative approach when determining every patient’s need for radiographs. Digital X-rays is reliable and versatile.Here is a list of some of the benefits and conditions that can be diagnosed with the use of intra-oral digital radiography for children and adolescents:
● Reduction of radiation exposure.● Detection of caries (cavities).● Assessment of growth and development.● Detection of periodontal disease.● Diagnosis of pathology (eg. cysts, tumours).● Traumatic injuries.● Developmental and genetic conditions.● Patient and parent education.
