Is an X-Ray important before a child's dental treatment?
It depends from case to case. The dentist always does a quick clinical examination and then only if needed for conformation of the type and extent of damage is a radiographic examination advised.
An X-Ray helps in conforming the type of the problem which helps in deciding what kind of treatment is required.
The X-Ray also helps in understanding the extent of the problem.
At Vasupujya Dental we have the latest and best equipment for radiographic diagnosis.

RVG
We have a portable X-Ray a tour clinic which comes in handy when we want to take a X-Ray of a few teeth. The portable X-Ray requires minimal radiation for image development making it very safe for children.
OPG
An OPG is a full mouth X-Ray. There are many advantages of an OPG. An OPG demonstrates the number, position and growth of all the teeth including those that have not yet surfaced or erupted through the gum, low patient radiation dose, convenience of examination for the patient as it captures all the teeth in one go, short time required for producing the image, useful visual aid in patient education.
An OPG is a good option for taking a child’s X-Ray because the child doesn’t have to cooperate for multiple X-Rays because all the teeth are captured in one shot.
