Dr Dental – Improving Dental Health Though High Tech X-Rays
Digitized X-rays are now replacing traditional radiographs in many dental offices, as they become more popular with dentists.
Digital X-rays are faster and more efficient than traditional radiographs. Your dentist can also store digital images on the computer and compare them with previous or future images to see how your dental health is being maintained.
Digital X-rays dose help in finding cavities but they also help look at the bone below the teeth to determine if the bone level of support is good. Dentists can use the X-rays to check the placement of an dental implant. These digital X-rays also help endodontists to see if they have performed the procedure properly and because the sensor and phosphor plates are more sensitive to X-rays than film is, the radiation dose is significantly reduced.
