Panoramic X-Rays for Kids

Safe, Fast & Painless Imaging at ABC Kids Dental Group

At ABC Kids Dental Group, we use panoramic X-ray technology to capture a complete image of your child’s entire mouth—including their teeth, jaw, sinuses, and surrounding bone structure—all in a single, low-radiation scan.
Whether your child is in Granada Hills, Pacoima, San Fernando, Reseda, or Sun Valley, this advanced diagnostic tool helps us plan their dental care with unmatched precision.

Why Panoramic X-Rays Matter?

Unlike regular X-rays that focus on a small area, panoramic X-rays show the full picture—allowing us to:

🦷 Detect impacted teeth
🧠 Evaluate jaw growth and bite alignment
🦷 Identify missing or extra teeth
🔍 Spot signs of infection, cysts, or tumors
📊 Plan for orthodontic treatment or surgery

These scans are typically used for older children or when a broader view is needed for more accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Is the Process Safe and Comfortable?

Absolutely. The scan is:

✅ Quick – Takes less than 1 minute
✅ Non-invasive – No pain or poking
✅ Safe – Uses very low radiation, far less than traditional film

Your child simply stands (or sits) while the camera rotates gently around their head. No discomfort. No fear. Just clear, full-mouth imaging.

When Do We Use Panoramic X-Rays?

We typically recommend this scan:

🦷 Before braces or orthodontic planning
🧠 When monitoring jaw growth
🦷 If a child has extra, missing, or impacted teeth
🩹 For comprehensive evaluations after trauma or injury

These are not taken at every visit—only when needed to support your child’s care plan.
