Clear Images. Better Answers. Healthier Smiles.
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of great dental care. At Under the Sea Dentistry for Kids, Dr. Pamela Butler uses advanced digital X-rays in Vancouver, Washington to closely examine your child’s teeth and guide personalized treatment — all while keeping their comfort and safety a top priority.
Digital X-rays help us detect concerns early, protect developing smiles, and create treatment plans that support your child’s long-term oral health.
What Are Digital X-Rays?
A Safe and Powerful Diagnostic Tool
Digital X-rays allow our team to view detailed images of your child’s teeth, roots, and supporting structures that are not visible during a standard exam. These images appear instantly on a nearby screen, allowing Dr. Butler to explain findings clearly and involve you in every decision.
Digital radiography uses up to 90 percent less radiation than traditional film X-rays, making it one of the safest imaging options available for children.
How Digital X-Rays Help Your Child’s Smile
Early Detection Makes All the Difference
With digital X-rays, Dr. Butler can diagnose and monitor a wide range of concerns, including:
Cavities and decay between teeth
Developmental abnormalities
Improper tooth root positioning
X-rays are also essential for planning treatments such as orthodontic care and oral surgery, ensuring your child receives the most precise and effective care possible.
Infections within the tooth
Soft tissue concerns such as cysts, tumors, and abscesses
Fractures or trauma to the teeth
A Comfortable, Child-Friendly Experience
Technology That Puts Kids at Ease
The digital X-ray process is quick, comfortable, and noninvasive. Our team explains each step in simple language and moves at your child’s pace to create a positive experience every time.
A Personalized, Kid-Focused Approach
Every Smile Deserves Special Care
No two children are the same, and neither are their smiles. Dr. Butler and our caring team take time to understand your child’s needs, explain each step in kid-friendly language, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and supported throughout their visit.
Our goal is always the same: a healthy smile and a positive dental experience your child can feel proud of!
