Digital X-Rays

Digital X-Rays

Background

Digital X-Rays are as comfortable as normal x-rays, but the benefits are that you receive a significantly reduced dose of radiation. In addition to this, enlarged images of these x-rays are available for viewing almost immediately after they have been taken.

Are x-rays really necessary? The short answer is YES. Concerns about radiation are common and quite understandable. However, a full series of dental x-rays exposes you to less radiation than a flight on a typical commercial airliner. Digital x-rays reduce the dosage of radiation even further!

To reach the maximum annual allowable dose of x-ray radiation, it would take 10,000 dental x-rays!

When one weighs this against all the serious conditions such as decay, periodontal disease, abscesses and cancer that can go undetected without X-rays, it seems like a fair trade off.

The reasons we need dental x-rays:
Discovering cavities and decay between teeth and underneath old fillings and crowns.
Evaluating bone support around teeth and gum disease.
Discovering abscesses and root infections.
Discovering cysts and tumours.
Monitoring any progress/lack of progress of any lesions.
