As of June 1st, we have reopened Our office is doing everything we can to make your child’s visit to our office SAFE. In order to minimize risk and keep our patients and team safe, we have put in place new office protocols. Please click the button to the right for more information

At Silicon Valley Pediatric Dentistry, we do not require you to take a radiograph at every visit. Please let us know if you are concerned with radiographic exposure and would like us to take less radiographs.

 

Additionally, we offer digital radiographs. Digital X-rays reduce radiation exposure 4 times compared to conventional analog radiographs

 

We realize that taking X-rays can be difficult for some people (especially our little ones) so we are one of the only pediatric dental offices to offer both Intra-oral and Extra-oral X-rays.

Conventional Digital

Intra Oral Radiographs

 

Extra Oral Radiographs

 

Taken outside the mouth to prevent gagging

Additionally they offer a lot more imaging than conventional radiographs at reduced radiation

with our unique Extra-oral X-Rays that have

less radiation then conventional analog radiographs

 

How We Take Our Radiographs

 

Traditional Intra-oral X-rays can be

used on small and large kids alike. (Figure 1)

Demonstrated by Dr. Scotty...

the biggest kid of all :)

With Extra-oral X-rays, nothing goes into the mouth and look at the great image

we are able to get (Figure 2).

Great for small kids to prevent gagging.
