Everyday healthy smiles
Keeping Track of Your Oral Health
Dental X-rays are an affordable, easy, and fast way to help your dentist keep minor dental health problems from turning into bigger ones.
Benefits of Dental X-rays
Digital X-rays allow us to evaluate oral development, wisdom tooth positioning, impacted teeth, periodontal disease, tartar buildup, and small cavities that are still asymptomatic. As a result, our Carlsbad children’s dentist can provide early intervention care that’s minimally invasive and more proactive for your overall dental health. In turn, you get to enjoy fewer (and more affordable) treatments.
What are digital X-Rays and how do they benefit my child’s smile?
Digital X-rays provide clear and detailed images of your child’s teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. These images allow our pediatric dentists to detect and diagnose a wide range of oral health and orthodontic issues that may not be visible during a visual examination alone. With this technology, we can identify tooth decay, cavities, impacted teeth, bone loss, infections, and even developmental abnormalities.
In addition to capturing images quickly, reducing time in the dental chair, and minimizing discomfort or anxiety your child may experience, digital X-rays also emit significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays, making them a safe and reliable option for patients.
How often should my child have these X-rays performed?
Regular dental examinations, including digital X-rays, are essential for maintaining your child’s oral health. We recommend that children have their mouths examined every six months or as advised by our pediatric dentists to ensure that any potential issues can be detected and addressed promptly.

Hear From Our Patients
Dr. Fazeli and her entire staff are compassionate, attentive, and excellent at their job. I have a ton of kids and they are always very accommodating about fitting us into their schedule when we have a dental concern. Dr. Fazeli has been incredibly patient and kind with a few of my younger kids who are challenging patients and always makes me feel at ease with everything she is doing. I would 10/10 recommend anyone take their kids to this practice. As a parent I am incredibly impressed with their professionalism and warm hearts, and my kids love going for the surprise and stickers. Wouldn’t go anywhere else, I just wish she did adult teeth, too!!
I’ve had such a wonderful experience bringing my children to Discovery Children’s Dentistry. The entire staff is incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming, which makes such a difference when bringing kids to the dentist. They go above and beyond to make my children feel comfortable and at ease during every visit. Dr. Fazeli is very kind, gentle, knowledgeable, and take the time to explain everything clearly. My kids actually look forward to their appointments, which says a lot! I’m so grateful to have found a pediatric dental office we can trust. Highly recommend to any parent looking for excellent dental care for their children.
We live in kauai and I needed a pediatric expert to view an xray for a second opinion (I was willing to fly for treatment if needed and was feeling very concerned about the treatment plan). After 7 calls, no other dentists would even look at the image. Discovery dental was so kind in offering her expert advice on the x-ray. She even looked at the other x-rays and mentioned a cavity to look out for. I was so impressed with her bedside manner, time provided, and guidance. The office comes well recommended by others and they would certainly be my go-to if i was based in Encinitas. I plan to go there on our trips back and forth.
