Using the most advanced dental technology is just as important as staying up to date on the latest treatment techniques. Because our practice is dedicated to providing your child with the safest and most convenient treatment options available, we utilize advanced digital X-ray technology in our office.
Is a digital X-ray really safer?
Because we care about your little one’s bodily health and well-being, we believe that reducing the amount of radiation exposure is essential. Although the amount of radiation used in dental X-rays is very small, the effect is cumulative, so all radiation counts. Digital X-rays can reduce your son or daughter’s exposure to radiation by up to 80 percent!
What are the advantages of digital X-rays?
- There is no need to wait for the X-ray film to be developed before it can be viewed, so the entire checkup can be a lot shorter.
- The digital images can be enlarged and manipulated, which gives Dr. Jensen a clearer, more detailed look at your youngster’s teeth.
- Because your child can see the image enlarged on a screen, he or she can better understand why taking care of teeth is critical.
- It’s better for the earth! There is no use of harmful chemicals to process film.
Our practice is focused on making your child’s dental experience as comfortable as possible. At your next appointment, we’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
