Decreased Radiations with Digital X-Rays

By Arthur Kezian

With the help of X-Rays during pre-dental examinations, your dentist can spot areas that need attention and take care of them before they become a problem. Let’s take cavities into consideration – with the help of digital X-Rays, most cavities can be detected when they are just beginning. Depending on the recommendation of your dentist, they can either be kept under observation or can be filled with a composite filling. This way, your tooth would be saved. But, without X-Rays, your dentist might not know about the cavity until it is visually noticeable or until you start feeling sensitivity and pain. When this happens, your cavity is already at a pretty large state. Dr. Arthur A. Kezian recommends getting X-Rays during your dental visits to make sure everything is under proper precaution.

·        Dental X-Rays are important in diagnostic appointments because they show your dentist what is going on in between your teeth. This way, they can do a thorough examination both visually and with X-Rays.

·         Your dentist can check for in between cavities, substantial tartar build up, and proper bone levels through digital X-Rays.

Prognosis leads to Alleviation:

There is nothing to Fear about Dental X-rays for your Children

By Arthur Kezian

Are you scared or bothered when your child needs to have his/her x-rays done? Well, don’t be because it is okay. Dental X-rays are considered safe and okay.

Digital X-Rays have far less radiation than film X-Rays do and they are considered to be more safe. Exposing your children to a minimal amount of radiation is okay, just as long as standard safety precautions are taken, today's X-ray equipment usually eliminates unnecessary radiation and allows the dentist to focus the X-ray beam on a specific part of the mouth.

Sometimes when you hear someone mentioning the word “radiation”, it gives you an unpleasant feel and an array of negative images for most people. Radiation does not always conjure with the word cancer, bomb, and all kinds of negativity. Medical and dental professionals consider x-rays as beneficial for diagnosing and treating a wide variety of medical conditions.

What are Dental X-rays?

X-Rays are high-energy photons which take pictures of the teeth, bones, and its surrounding structures that have more energy and short wavelengths than ordinary visible light. It acts out as a diagnostic material for checking cavities in teeth, underlying dental structures such as bone defects and impacted wisdom teeth. X-Rays play an integral part in diagnosing a dental problem most especially structures that cannot be seen during a visual examination.

There is definitely nothing to fear about your child having X-Rays. If you have questions regarding this matter, feel free to ask about how helpful and useful X-Rays are when it comes to diagnosing medical and dental conditions. They will attend to you immediately and answer to all your questions regarding this matter.
