digital x-rays for kids in petaluma

At Petaluma Pediatric Dentistry, we use advanced digital X-ray technology to safely and efficiently monitor your child’s oral health. Digital X-rays provide detailed images with minimal radiation, helping us catch potential issues early and plan the best care for your child’s developing smile.

why Digital x-rays matter:

  • Offers clearer, faster results compared to traditional X-rays

  • Uses significantly lower radiation for added safety

  • Helps detect cavities, bone issues, and tooth development problems

  • Supports early, effective treatment planning

  • Reveals cavities between teeth that can’t be seen otherwise

  • Catches dental problems early for less invasive treatment

What to Expect During a Visit:

We gently position a small sensor in your child’s mouth and take quick, painless images. Most children are fascinated by the technology, and results are available immediately—letting us explain findings right on the spot.

Types of Dental X-Rays

  • Intraoral (Bitewing and Periapical): Shows cavities, development, and periodontal health

  • Extraoral (Panoramic): Displays the entire mouth, jaw, and teeth — helpful for growth, trauma, and orthodontic needs.
