We take X-rays only when necessary to help locate cavities or other abnormalities.  We use age appropriate sensors and take panoramic pictures to assess orthodontic needs and pathology. During this time we will look for any abnormalities that may generate problems as your child grows. That includes examining primary or baby teeth and any adult teeth. Our pediatric dentist and trained staff will explain all of the findings and let you know if your child needs follow-up treatment.
