Panoramic X-ray Machine

Get the Full Picture with Our Panoramic X-ray Machine

At Kind Kids Pediatric Dentistry, we use state-of-the-art imaging technology to provide comprehensive care for your child’s smile. Our panoramic X-ray machine captures a complete 360-degree view of your child’s teeth, jaws, sinuses, and surrounding bone structures in one clear image.

What Makes Panoramic X-rays Different?

Unlike traditional X-rays that focus on small, localized areas, the panoramic X-ray gently rotates around your child’s head, taking a single, wide-angle image of the entire mouth and facial area. This allows us to see:

• All of your child’s teeth, including those not yet erupted
• The jawbone and temporomandibular joints (TMJ)
• Sinus cavities and the nasal area
• Surrounding bone and soft tissues

This full view provides much more information than standard X-rays, enabling a more thorough understanding of your child’s oral health.

Why Panoramic X-rays Are Essential

Panoramic images are a critical tool for diagnosis and treatment planning. They help us detect issues that might not be obvious in smaller X-rays, such as:

• Impacted or missing teeth that need monitoring or treatment
• Jaw or facial bone abnormalities affecting growth
• Cysts, tumors, or infections in bone and soft tissues
• Sinus conditions that may impact oral health
• Planning orthodontic treatments, like braces or aligners

Safe, Quick, and Comfortable Imaging

The panoramic X-ray process is fast and comfortable for your child. They will simply sit or stand still while the machine smoothly rotates around their head. The exposure to radiation is minimal, comparable to or sometimes less than traditional dental X-rays, ensuring a safe experience.

Since this single scan captures a comprehensive image, it often reduces the need for multiple X-rays, saving time and making dental visits easier for your child.

How Panoramic X-rays Help Us Provide Better Care

Using panoramic X-rays, Dr. Paula Lobo can accurately evaluate the overall health and development of your child’s teeth and jaw. This broad view allows us to:

• Detect problems early before they cause pain or complications
• Create precise, customized treatment plans
• Monitor dental development and plan for future orthodontic care
• Improve the diagnosis of complex dental and facial conditions
