If you should need treatment, your dentist can show you what he sees on the monitor and discuss treatment options with you.
The computer saves the digital pictures. Your dentist has a permanent record to consult in the future to:
Identify changes to teeth and gums
Measure progress
Evaluate treatment
Digital x-rays
King Ritson Dental uses digital x-rays, not traditional film x-rays. The method and the equipment look the same. The results are markedly better. Digital x-rays are viewed on your dentist's computer screen. By zooming in, you can see what your dentist sees.
The high resolution images of your teeth, bones and roots are stored on the computer database. Your x-rays are easily viewed by any of the dental professionals your family sees. Unlike x-ray films, digitally-stored images are just as clear ten years from now as they are today.
Digital x-rays use up to 80% less radiation than traditional film x-rays. That's better for your health. Films and chemicals are a thing of the past. That's better for our environment.
How much radiation is safe?
Dental x-rays are perfectly safe. Our digital x-rays use 80% less radiation than traditional x-rays. You absorb a tiny dose, less than 1mrem. Undiagnosed dental disease is a much greater health risk. The only time you shouldn't have your regular dental x-ray is if you are pregnant.
Look at these statistics:
The average person absorbs 360 mrem of radiation per year.
