Digital X-rays

Digital X-rays are a significant advancement in pediatric dentistry that has revolutionized the way dentists take and view X-rays of your children’s teeth. They are also more detailed and accurate, so small issues can be detected long before they become big problems.

Why we recommend Digital X-rays:

  • Safer: Digital X-rays produce up to 90% less radiation than traditional X-rays, making them safer for children.
  • More Accurate: They provide more detailed and accurate images, allowing Dr. K to detect small issues before they become significant problems.
  • Quick and Easy: Digital X-rays are taken quickly and easily, without the need for bulky equipment or developing time.
  • Comfortable: The process of taking digital X-rays is more comfortable for your children, as they can relax in the dental chair while the images are taken.
  • Immediate Results: Images can be pulled up almost instantly for immediate viewing by the dentist, allowing Dr. K to make faster diagnoses and treatments.

Intraoral Cameras

Intraoral cameras are revolutionizing the dental industry, allowing for more accurate and detailed examinations of your child’s mouth. Here are some benefits of intraoral cameras:

  • Real-time, high-resolution images: Intraoral cameras provide clear and magnified images of the mouth, allowing dentists to detect problems earlier.
  • Interactive experience: Patients can view the images in real-time with the dentist and ask questions or discuss any concerns.
  • Improved communication: Intraoral cameras help dentists explain the conditions of the teeth and gums to patients in a clear and easy-to-understand manner.
  • Enhanced diagnosis: With the ability to capture and store images, dentists can track changes over time and compare images to monitor the progression of oral conditions.

We regularly test our site to ensure we meet or exceed that standard and also consistently look for ways to improve the web site’s performance, speed, and accessibility.

We are committed to continuously improving access to our goods and services by individuals with disabilities. If you are unable to use any aspect of this website because of a disability, please call (530) 272-9026 and we will provide you with prompt personalized assistance.

If you have trouble seeing web pages, the US Social Security Administration offers these tips for optimizing your computer and browser to improve your online experience.

If you are looking for mouse and keyboard alternatives, speech recognition software such as Dragon Naturally Speaking may help you navigate web pages and online services. This software allows the user to move focus around a web page or application screen through voice controls.

If you are deaf or hard of hearing, there are several accessibility features available to you.

Closed Captioning
Closed captioning provides a transcript for the audio track of a video presentation that is synchronized with the video and audio tracks. Captions are generally visually displayed over the video, which benefits people who are deaf and hard of hearing, and anyone who cannot hear the audio due to noisy environments. Most of our website’s video content includes automated captions. Learn how to turn captioning on and off in YouTube.

Volume Controls
Your computer, tablet, or mobile device has volume control features. Each video and audio service has its own additional volume controls. Try adjusting both your device’s volume controls and your media players’ volume controls to optimize your listening experience.

This privacy notice discloses our privacy practices and the use of Google Analytics 4(GA4), an analytic advertising feature. This privacy notice applies solely to information collected by this website and the GA4 platform. It will notify you of the following:

While Caring Tree Children's Dentistry is the primary data controller, Google, in the context of providing Google Analytics service, acts as a data processor. We use Google Analytics 4, a widely recognized web analytics service provided by Google, Inc., to track user interactions and gather data for advertising purposes.

As part of our ongoing commitment to your privacy, we implement measures to ensure that services like GA4 comply with our high standards of data protection.

GA4 collects certain personally identifiable information from you as you interact with our website. This information includes but is not limited to your device ID, IP address, and geographic location. The information collected through GA4 is used to analyze user behavior, optimize our website’s performance, and tailor our content to better serve your needs. This data is compiled and anonymized, ensuring that it cannot be linked back to individual users.

Please note that GA4 may share the information collected with Google and other third-party service providers to enable data processing and reporting on website usage.
