Digital Radiographs in Bothell, WA
At Hello Kids Dentistry, your child’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. That's why we use digital radiographs—a modern, low-radiation X-ray technology that helps us examine your child’s teeth, jaw, and oral structures with precision and care.
Safe, Accurate Imaging for Growing Smiles
Digital radiographs are an essential part of our preventive dental care. They allow Dr. Dhali and our pediatric dental team to detect dental issues early, even before they’re visible to the naked eye. This means quicker treatment, less invasive procedures, and healthier smiles for the long run.
About
Digital radiographs (also known as digital X-rays) are a safer, faster alternative to traditional film X-rays. Instead of using film and higher doses of radiation, digital X-rays use advanced sensors and emit up to 90% less radiation—making them ideal for infants, children, and teens.
​
These images are instantly viewable on-screen, giving parents and caregivers a clear understanding of their child’s dental development and allowing Dr. Dhali to walk you through any findings or treatment needs in real time.
Why X-Rays?
Our pediatric dental specialists use digital radiographs to:
​
-
Monitor erupting teeth and jaw development
-
Detect cavities between teeth or beneath the surface
-
Check for infections, abscesses, or bone issues
-
Evaluate trauma or damage after accidents
-
Plan orthodontic or restorative treatments
​
By identifying issues early, we can create tailored treatment plans that protect your child’s oral health, boost their confidence, and support lifelong wellness.

Safety?
We understand that parents may have concerns about X-ray exposure. That’s why we follow the ALARA principle—“As Low As Reasonably Achievable”—to minimize exposure while still gaining the valuable diagnostic information needed to care for your child.
​
Digital radiographs are quick, comfortable, and safe. Most children find the process easy and stress-free, and our friendly dental team is always here to explain what to expect and answer your questions every step of the way.
