At Kingdom Kids Dental, we utilize digital X-rays as part of our comprehensive approach to examining your child’s oral health. These advanced diagnostic tools allow us to capture detailed images of your child’s teeth, gums and bone structure quickly and comfortably. Digital X-rays help us identify potential issues early, ensuring we can treat any problems before they become more serious.

Digital X-rays are known for their safety, producing significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays. In fact, they use up to 90% less radiation, making them a preferred choice for pediatric care. This reduced exposure is ideal for children, as it allows Dr. Benjamin Wilson and Dr. Farrah Anderson to safely monitor their dental development over time with minimal risk. The X-ray process is also fast and comfortable, with images displayed instantly on a monitor for you and our dentists to view together.

We use digital X-rays to diagnose a variety of dental issues, including cavities, abnormal tooth development and problems with tooth root alignment. X-rays also help us detect soft tissue issues, such as cysts or tumors, that may not be visible during a standard exam. In addition to diagnosing current concerns, digital X-rays help our team plan treatments like tooth extractions and evaluate the need for orthodontic care with precision.

Our experienced dentists may recommend digital X-rays as part of your child’s routine dental exam to ensure that any developing issues are identified early. With the detailed imagery provided by digital X-rays, we can tailor a treatment plan to your child’s specific needs, helping to maintain their oral health as they grow.
