Dental X-Rays
At John Street Dental we use modern digital radiography. Digital x-rays use a sensor or phosphor plate, as opposed to the film used in traditional radio-graphic examinations, hence, minimised exposure to radiation for our patients. Radiography examinations are very important and beneficial in the accurate diagnosis and management of many dental conditions. X-rays can assist with the early detection of things like oral cancers, tooth decay, cysts, impacted teeth, gum disease just to name a few.
Our X-ray equipment at John Street Dental complies with the Australian Standards and guidelines.
DID YOU KNOW?..
The radiation received from digital X-Rays is so minor that it is less than the background radiation ( from the atmosphere, the Sun and the stars) you would receive in any given day. It is also less than the radiation you would receive on a flight from here to Sydney.
In recent years many advances in technology have been made to reduce the levels of radiation exposure from dental x-rays.
Always feel free to discuss any queries or concerns you may have regarding our digital X-rays with your Dentist, here at John St Dental.
