Digital X-Rays & Sensors
Digital x-rays and sensors provide high-quality, detailed images of your child's teeth, gums, and jaw with reduced radiation exposure. Dr. Paula uses them for routine check-ups, cavity detection, orthodontic assessments, and monitoring dental development.
There are numerous benefits to using digital x-rays. The radiation they emit is significantly less than traditional film x-rays, making them safer for children. The high-resolution images are instantly available on a computer screen, which reduces the time spent in the dental chair. This allows Dr. Paula to diagnose and discuss treatment options quickly.
Digital sensors are smaller and more comfortable for children, reducing anxiety and discomfort during imaging. We can easily store your child’s x-rays in their electronic dental records and share them with other dental specialists if needed, ensuring seamless continuity of care.
Panoramic X-Rays
Unlike traditional x-rays that focus on individual teeth, panoramic x-rays capture a single, detailed image encompassing all the structures of the mouth and jaw. Dr. Paula uses panoramic x-rays for orthodontic assessments, monitoring dental development, and detecting dental issues.
Panoramic x-rays offer significant benefits for young patients. They provide a complete picture of oral structures, allowing for accurate diagnoses and effective treatment planning. Panoramic x-rays use less radiation than multiple traditional x-rays, making them safer for children. The x-rays are taken outside the mouth, so the process is fast, non-invasive, and comfortable.
Nitrous Oxide or "Laughing Gas"
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as "laughing gas," is a safe and effective way to help kids relax during dental procedures. Dr. Paula uses nitrous oxide to reduce anxiety and ensure a positive dental experience for our young patients. It is particularly helpful for children who are nervous about dental visits, have a low threshold for pain, or have special needs that make it difficult to sit still during treatment.
We administer nitrous oxide through a small mask placed over the child's nose, allowing them to breathe comfortably. The gas takes effect quickly, creating a calming sensation while keeping the child awake and responsive. Upon removing the mask, the effects wear off quickly, so your child can go back to their usual routine shortly after the appointment.
Digital Records
Dr. Paula uses digital records to maintain accurate and up-to-date information about your child's dental health, treatments, and appointments. This technology allows for quick access to records, seamless updates, and efficient information sharing with other dental specialists if needed.
Quick access to your child's dental history allows Dr. Paula to make informed decisions about their care and track their dental development over time. Additionally, digital records streamline appointment scheduling, billing, and insurance processing, making your experience at Adonias Smiles Dentistry in Miami more efficient and convenient.
TVs in Treatment Rooms
Our treatment rooms are equipped with TVs featuring Netflix to create a more relaxing and enjoyable environment. This allows children to watch their favorite shows and movies during their dental appointments, helping to distract them and reduce anxiety. Our TVs keep children entertained and engaged, making them more comfortable and cooperative during procedures, creating a more positive dental experience overall.
