The Safety of Dental X-Rays

As experienced kids' dentists of Tucson, we see lots of kids and lots of smiles.  We pride ourselves on preventative dental care.   We believe in the proven practices of tooth brushing and flossing so that your child will not experience cavities and other dental problems.

Part of preventative dental care means x-rays.  Understandably, when x-rays are involved, parents have lots of questions.  How much is enough?  How safe are x-rays?  Are they worth the risk of exposure?

At Northwest Children's Dentistry, we tailor x-rays to each child's individual risk assessment.  We use digital radiography and shielding. This state-of-the-art technology minimizes your child’s exposure to radiation. We also only take x-rays of your child periodically, so we can evaluate problems that lurk in your child's teeth that we can't see on the surface.  This allows us to balance good dental health and low x-ray exposure.

As your child's pediatric dentist in Tucson, we want to take care of all your children's dental needs.  If you have any questions, feel free to call us at (520) 544-8522.
