Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Digital X-Rays

Generally, yes. We understand that some children feel more comfortable with a parent nearby. As long as you are not pregnant, you can stay in the room. You will also be provided with a lead apron for your protection.

However, in some cases, children actually behave better and follow instructions more closely when they "fly solo." Our team is highly experienced in coaching kids through the process to make it a quick and easy experience.

No, the process is completely painless.

  • The "Camera": We describe the X-ray machine to children as a "space camera" that takes pictures of their "tooth bones."
  • Zero Discomfort: There is no heat, pinching, or vibration. The hardest part for most kids is simply staying still for the three seconds it takes to capture the image.
  • The Sensation: Your child will simply need to bite down on a small, smooth plastic sensor for a few seconds.

The frequency depends entirely on your child's individual oral health and risk for decay.

  • High-Risk (Frequent Cavities): We may recommend X-rays every 6 months to catch new decay before it reaches the nerve.
  • Low-Risk: For children with healthy habits and no history of cavities, X-rays every 12 to 24 months are typically sufficient.
  • Growth Milestones: We also take specific X-rays to monitor the progress of permanent teeth and jaw alignment, which is vital for orthodontic planning.

Yes, they are extremely safe. At Smiles of Bulverde, we use advanced digital sensors rather than traditional film.

  • 90% Less Radiation: Digital X-rays reduce radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional dental X-rays.
  • Safety Protocols: We follow the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable). We also use lead lined aprons and thyroid collars to provide maximum protection for your child's developing body.
  • Instant Results: Digital images appear on our monitors instantly, meaning less time in the chair for your child.
