X-Rays and Your Child's Dental Health
August 29th, 2013
When you were young and visiting a dentist, you may have only gotten 1 or 2 x-rays. Now you may notice that dentists use them more frequently. Why is that?
Radiographs (x-rays) are an important tool in providing your child with a thorough examination. There are many preventable problems that we can't see unless we used x-rays. Since we pride ourselves on catching problems before they become serious, x-rays are a useful tool to meet those ends.
At Northwest Children's Dentistry, we use digital radiography and shielding, which minimizes your child’s exposure to radiation. The number and frequency of radiographs is tailored to each child’s individual risk assessment.
As your pediatric dentist in Tucson, we want to help you understand all aspects of your child's dental care. Feel free to call us at (520) 544-8522.
