Digital X-rays for Children in Yukon, OK
At Sweet Tooth Pediatric Dentistry, we use digital X-ray technology to get a clear picture of your child’s oral health—without the discomfort or high radiation levels of traditional film. Our advanced imaging tools, including Nomad handheld X-rays and Panoramic X-rays, help us diagnose and monitor dental conditions early and with precision. Whether we’re tracking tooth development or detecting hidden issues, digital radiography is an essential part of your child’s comprehensive care.
Why Digital X-rays Matter in Pediatric Dentistry
Children’s mouths are constantly changing—from the emergence of baby teeth to the development of permanent ones. Digital X-rays allow us to:
- Detect cavities between teeth before they become visible
- Monitor the position of erupting teeth
- Evaluate jaw and bite development
- Check for infections or trauma below the surface
- Plan treatments like Tooth Extractions or Orthodontic solutions like Invisalign for Kids
By catching issues early, Dr. Tiana Osbourne can take a preventive approach and reduce the need for more invasive procedures down the line.

Our X-ray Technology: Nomad & Panoramic Imaging
Nomad Handheld X-rays
The Nomad system is a portable, handheld device that allows us to take high-quality X-rays in the treatment chair—making the process faster and less intimidating for children. It minimizes radiation exposure and shortens appointment time.
Panoramic X-rays
Panoramic imaging captures the entire mouth in a single image, including the teeth, jaws, and sinuses. This is particularly helpful for evaluating:
- Orthodontic readiness
- Jaw growth patterns
- Impacted teeth
- Facial bone development
This type of X-ray is non-invasive and ideal for older children or those undergoing more complex evaluations.
What to Expect During Your Child’s Visit
Digital X-rays are painless, quick, and completed in just minutes. For younger children or patients with sensory sensitivities, we explain the process using age-appropriate language and demonstrate the equipment to help ease nerves. If needed, we can also offer Sedation Dentistry to ensure the process goes smoothly.
We follow strict safety protocols and use protective shields when necessary, though digital X-rays already emit significantly less radiation than traditional imaging.
Integrated Preventative and Diagnostic Care
X-rays are typically performed as part of a routine Children’s Dentistry visit or to assist with treatments such as:
- Dental Fillings
- Fluoride Treatments
- Dental Sealants
These images give us a complete picture so we can offer targeted care and accurate recommendations for your child’s oral health.
