Dental X-Rays and Safety for Kids

• Dental X-rays help us see what we can’t see with our eyes — like cavities between teeth, developing adult teeth, and jaw growth.

• Modern digital X-rays use very low radiation — about 80–90% less than older film systems. A set of bitewing X-rays gives your child about the same radiation as eating a few bananas or spending a day outdoors.

• We always use lead aprons and thyroid shields for extra protection.

• We use comfortable, child-sized X-ray sensors made specifically for pediatric patients.

• Most children need X-rays once or twice a year, depending on their cavity risk and growth.
