How We Help Little Smiles Using Advanced Technology
We love the chance to help kids in our community enjoy good oral health and a smile that shines. Which is why when possible, we implement advanced technology as part of the planning and treatment experience. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX, pediatric dentist talks about advanced technology, including laser dentistry!
Digital X-Rays and More
When we see your child for an exam, we want to conduct a diagnosis with precision. Which is why in addition to a visual exam, we will also take a look at the smile with digital x-rays. Unlike traditional x-rays, this system uses 90% less radiation, and the images are available instantly chairside, no need to wait for them to develop. The digital system means less time in the chair, and no need for uncomfortable bitewings. The images are high-definition, and we can zoom in on specific areas, and also easily transmit these to specialists as needed. We also use intraoral cameras to closely examine the surfaces of the teeth and gums. We offer a diagnosis and treatment planning with greater precision, ensuring optimal results for your little one.
Laser Dentistry
Our team also offers laser dentistry to help treat serious concerns with little smiles. The laser system is a concentrated beam of light specially calibrated to handle soft tissue concerns. Our team can use the maker to shrink cold and canker sores, aid in removing decay, and help manage gum inflammation. The technology targets areas with precision to prevent damage to healthy tissues, and the system lowers the risk of bleeding, infection, and swelling. Since we don’t need scalpels or sutures, the area heals quickly and many kids return to their normal routine after only a day of rest.
