How Digital Images Help With Prevention
Pediatric digital radiography supports prevention-first care by helping identify small problems before they become larger ones. A cavity between baby teeth, for example, may not be visible until it has already progressed. X-rays can also help monitor how adult teeth are forming and whether they are coming in at the right angle.
