Digital X-Rays

Gentle Dental is proud to offer the latest in dental technologies, including digital x-rays. These are the newest type of dental x-ray that is safe for patients of all ages. They also result in more distinct imagery that is digitally stored and enhanced for improved understanding of a patient’s oral healthcare.

What are Digital X-Rays

A digital x-ray is a type of photograph taken of a person’s body but done with high-tech equipment and x-rays that project what the person’s internal bones and tissues, as well as fluid including blood, look like in a person at a specific moment in time. The use of x-rays in dental care is necessary to identify the positioning of teeth and gums. Additionally, dental x-rays can follow a person’s life span. This will show their personal health and wellness over the course of a lifetime.

Why Get Digital X-Rays

There are many reasons why you might need to get digital x-rays. The primary reason why you are contacting a dentist for digital x-rays is for your health records. We like to do updated dental records using x-rays from time to time. These images allow our dentist to see the real scope of a patient’s dental and oral structure and health. Everything from the size, shape, and cavities in teeth, to the expectation of future teeth can be determined by an x-ray image.

Another reason why you might need x-rays is to look internally for abnormal growths or teeth that are causing you discomfort. If you are concerned that your child’s teeth are not growing straight, there is another reason why x-rays are in order. Finally, x-rays are used post accident or after an injury to document any swelling that could result in medical treatment. These records are necessary for medical insurers, and often needed by lawyers to justify accident expenses.
