24. Do you do X-Rays, and are they safe?

Even for young children with only primary teeth, x-rays are an important part of dental care. They help us make sure teeth are coming in properly, remain healthy, and detect problems that aren’t visible during a regular exam.

X-rays don’t just help us find cavities — they also show how permanent teeth are developing and assist our orthodontists in planning future treatment.

Think of x-rays as a way to catch dental issues early, making treatment easier, more effective, and more affordable. We use digital x-rays and take extra precautions to ensure your child receives the lowest possible exposure.

For growing children, we typically recommend x-rays every six months. It’s one of the best ways to help your child maintain a healthy, confident smile.
