Is there any reason to be concerned about radiation exposure from dental x-rays?
A. The short answer is no. The amount of radiation you are exposed to in the dental office is microscopic when compared to what you receive from just being outside. However, we know that some people are still anxious about this so we utilize an amazing new technology that replaces traditional x-rays. It’s called digital x-ray and it reduces the already low radiation dose by as much as 80%. Digital x-rays are also much clearer and more accurate than traditional x-rays. Other advantages are you won’t have to spend any time waiting while the film develops (because there is no film), your x-rays can be stored in the computer indefinitely and the quality will never deteriorate.
