What is Digital X-Rays?
Digital X-rays are one of the most advanced technologies for dental x-rays.
How do digital x-rays function?
Instead of an x-ray film, it uses an electronic sensor to capture and store digital images in a computer. The captured image will be then scanned with the help of an x-ray scanner. The image taken can be viewed instantly and enlarged for easier detection of the problems. Compared to traditional dental x-rays, digital x-rays lowers the radiation by 80% to 90%.
What is the necessity of digital x-rays?
Digital x-rays are an important diagnostic and preventative tool that offers valuable information to the dentist otherwise not visible during a routine dental checkup or at the time of a dentist consultation. Digital X-rays provide a detailed overview of the hidden abnormalities, which can be of utmost use to dentists and dental hygienists. They make use of this information to come up with an accurate treatment plan. By not taking digital x-rays, the problem areas may go undetected.
What do digital x-rays reveal?
- Bone loss.
- Presence of possible cancerous or non-cancerous tumors.
- Presence of decay between the teeth.
- Presence of abscesses or cysts.
- Dental problems within the teeth or below the gum line are not visible to the dentist without digital x-rays.
- Poor positioning of the tooth and its roots.
- Developmental abnormalities.
By helping the dentist detect and treat dental problems at an early stage, digital x-rays save both your time and money, teeth and unnecessary discomfort.
