Are you looking for a new family dentist? Turn to Corinium Dental for the comprehensive general dental care you can trust.
(847) 352-5410 An integral part of our strategy in our preventitive protocol is the use of dental x-rays.
Here we use the state of the art technology called digital radiography. It works by capturing and then storing the images with an electronic sensor. Doing digital is more comfortable and faster than the archaic method of films. The patient also has way less exposure to radiation by using digital. This is because, with digital pictures, the hygienist and dentist can observe potential ailments faster. Therefore problems or abnormalities can be seen quicker and permanent damage or more serious issues can be avoided. It also means you get to avoid being in pain or discomfort when these concerns are dealt with earlier.
To ease any concerns though digital X-rays are a lot safer, the appropriate precautions are still taken to keep you safe. We take that very seriously and will make sure there is no radiation exposure that is not necessary.
How often should have dental X-Rays taken?
This will depends greatly on dental background and your medical history. Things to consider are also what your ailments are, Dr. Moon will have to do a dental examination, your age, any potential disease risk and when was the last one you had an X-ray. Usually, patients have an upper and lower X-ray completed one or two times a year but if new problems arise, new ones may be required. If you find yourself in discomfort or pain or have some concerns please give us a call in Schaumburg, Illinois where we are happy to get you an appointment.
