Children's Dentistry Technology

Panoramic X-Rays

Panoramic x-rays provide a complete view of your child's mouth in a single image, including all their teeth, jaws, and surrounding bones. Dr. Boling uses this technology to monitor tooth development, check for missing or extra teeth, and check orthodontic needs.

The process is quick, comfortable, and especially helpful for children who can't have x-rays taken inside their mouths, such as kids with special needs. The child simply stands still for a few moments while the machine rotates around their head. These comprehensive images help us track your child's dental development and catch potential issues early.
