What it is
A child's first visit is a short one, and it is ten minutes from home rather than an hour.
At Post Family Dentistry, we use safe, low-radiation digital X-rays to monitor your child's dental development. Dr. Xochitl Anderton, DDS, ensures accurate imaging with minimal exposure for your child's safety.
