At Lil’ Dente Pediatric Dentistry of Darien, we use advanced digital X-ray technology to get a clear, safe, and accurate picture of your child’s oral health. Digital X-rays allow us to detect issues we can’t see during a visual exam, helping us plan treatments early and protect your child’s growing smile.
Digital X-rays are a vital tool in pediatric dentistry, offering precise and fast imaging with significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays. They help us monitor the development of your child’s teeth, jaw, and bite. Whether checking for cavities between teeth, evaluating injuries, or planning orthodontic care, digital X-rays give us the insight we need to deliver safe and personalized treatment.
