You’ve heard the arguments against excessive X-Ray use – the dangers that can come from exposing children to radiation.
That’s why at Vivid Dental, our X-Ray machine uses a tunnel beam – which means exposure to radiation is extremely localised and minimal.
It is definitely safe for children to have this kind of X-Ray taken.
In addition, we only recommend having these taken every 12-18 months, unless severe decay is detected.
These X-Rays are quick, painless, safe and digital, meaning we process and develop them on the spot, and can see the image immediately.
X-Rays allow us to see between the teeth and under the gum line.
This is especially important for children, as we can see whether their adult teeth are growing in as normal, or are crowded, delayed or under developed.
If your child hasn’t had a check-up recently or has never had X-Rays taken, give us a call and book in with our Dental Therapists, who specialise in treating children.
It was nice reading this blog post! It’s very informative. A digital dental x-ray is a type of dental x-ray that uses a digital detector instead of the traditional film detector. A digital dental x-ray has various advantages over a traditional one, including greater image quality and easier storage. Because digital dental x-rays are more detailed, they are better at detecting signs of mouth cancer, cavities, and bone loss. This type of x-ray was previously incapable of accurately detecting these items. Furthermore, a digital dental x-ray is more convenient and faster than a standard x-ray. Digital dental x-rays are being used increasingly commonly in dentistry as a result of these benefits.
