Digital radiographs, also known as digital X-rays, are a modern imaging technique used in pediatric dentistry to capture detailed images of a child’s teeth, gums, and jawbones. Unlike traditional X-rays, digital radiographs use digital sensors to produce highly accurate images with minimal radiation exposure, making them safer and more efficient for children’s dental care.

to a 5-year-old
Imagine digital radiographs like taking pictures of your teeth, but with a super cool camera that uses special lights instead of film. These pictures help your dentist see inside your mouth to check if everything is strong and healthy, just like looking at a treasure map to find hidden treasures! Don’t worry, it’s quick and easy, and it helps keep your smile shining bright!
