When it comes to your child’s smile, you want nothing but the best—and so do we. At Kind Kids Pediatric Dentistry, we use advanced digital X-rays to give a clear, accurate look at what’s happening beneath the surface of your child’s teeth and gums. The result? Faster diagnoses, more precise treatment, and a safer, more comfortable experience for your child.
Digital X-rays are one of the most powerful tools in modern dentistry—and we use them every day to help protect little smiles from big problems.
Digital X-rays work by using a small sensor to capture highly detailed images of your child’s teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. The images appear instantly on a computer screen—no waiting, no film processing, and no discomfort.
Here’s why parents love this technology:
Digital X-rays help us detect early signs of tooth decay, monitor tooth development, and catch any hidden issues before they become serious. That means better care, fewer surprises, and more confident smiles.
Worried about how your child will handle an X-ray? Don’t be. Digital X-rays are fast, gentle, and designed with your child’s comfort in mind. The sensor is small and easy to place in your child’s mouth, and the entire process takes just a few seconds.
Because the images are ready right away, Dr. Paula Lobo can sit down with you and review them on-screen, walking you through exactly what’s going on and what steps, if any, are needed next.
No waiting, no confusion—just a clearer picture and a caring plan forward.
As a parent, safety is your top priority—and it’s ours too. Digital X-rays expose your child to significantly less radiation compared to traditional film X-rays. In fact, they use such low levels of radiation that they’re considered safe for routine use—even on very young children.
We always follow the "As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA)" principle, which means we only take X-rays when necessary for diagnosis or treatment planning, and we use protective shields to further limit exposure.
At Kind Kids Pediatric Dentistry, we believe technology should make dental visits better—not more complicated. That’s why we invest in tools like digital X-rays to ensure every child receives safe, accurate, and personalized care. Want to see how digital X-rays can make a difference in your child’s smile?
