Using a remarkable x-ray technology, intra oral cameras, diagnodent, and sterilization best practices Dr. LaLande offers your child the absolute highest quality available in the dental field today.

Las Vegas pediatric dentist, Dr. LaLande, uses Dental radiographs or x-rays as part of the total dental examination. Typically, children’s x-rays are taken at the initial dental exam and then are followed up ever 6-12 months, based on each child’s needs. There are a number of ailments that an x-ray can easily detect including impacted wisdom teeth, tumors, cysts, and cavities. Las Vegas kids dentist, Dr. Lalande, uses digital radiography, which uses 80% less radiation then average x-rays. Two dental x-rays deliver four times less radiation than a normal day of radiation received by playing in the sun. For this reason, dental x-rays are incredibly important and very safe.

The intra oral camera allows kids to relax in their chair while Las Vegas kids dentist, Dr. LaLande, observes a magnified image of your child’s mouth on a computer monitor. This not only helps find any problems, it also records the session for excellent record keeping.

Diagnodent helps find cavities. Even the smallest lesions can be seen during an incredibly early stage, which is very helpful towards quickly fixing the problem. Diagnodent has been given the ADA Seal of Acceptance and has become a standard of care.
