Is a digital picture really worth a thousand words?
Wouldn’t it be nice if a dentist could somehow look painlessly into your mouth, clearly identify every external and internal structure, and accurately diagnose your dental problems... all within seconds and with minimal radiation exposure? Well, the future in now! This may sound too good to be true, but thanks to a relatively new dental imaging process called digital radiography, it’s real. Digital radiography’s technology improves and simplifies the way a patient’s teeth can be cared for, resulting in better dental evaluations and treatment decisions.
Traditionally, a dentist would evaluate your mouth by taking a series of x-rays, developing them in a darkroom full of chemicals, and then examining the resulting films on a special light board.
Digital radiography has totally outdated this cumbersome process.
Now, you can simply relax in the dental chair while a tiny sensor is positioned briefly inside of your mouth. The sensor acts like a miniature VCR camera, except that its chip is sensitive to x-rays, not light. The result? For one, you as the patient, are exposed to 50%-90% less radiation than the traditional x-ray technique.
Moreover, a highly detailed image is almost instantaneously translated onto a computer screen, carrying with it all of the conveniences of other digitized images: it can be rotated, magnified, adjusted for contrast, and even color-coded for educational purposes. It can also be stored easily and efficiently in a computer file, eliminating paper files as well as image wear and tear.
For insurance purposes, referrals, or patient education, it can be easily, inexpensively and faithfully reproduced any number of times.
Without a doubt, digital radiography makes for a fast and easy evaluation of any patient. The instantaneous, clear computer screen image allows for your dentist to immediately discuss his or her finding with you, the patient. It allows the professional to examine inner and outer structures and tissues of each tooth, as well as the surrounding roots, root canals, and gums. What may have previously been mysterious and threatening is suddenly reasonable and non-threatening.
Digital imaging is truly a breakthrough in modern and painless dentistry.
Be sure to make it a point to ask your dentist if digital radiography is available as part of your next dental maintenance exam.
