🦷At the Dental Care Center, we pride ourselves in comprehensive care. We treat you as we would treat our family. We value a variety of diagnostic tools, which incorporates x-rays.
🦷X-rays contain valuable information for our dentists to be able to give our patients the best overall care possible. X-rays allow us to have an insider view of the teeth to diagnose decay and periodontal disease as well as infections, cysts and more.
🦷Without x-rays, we would only be getting half the information. With X-rays, we are able to treat earlier and prevent infection/ disease much sooner.
🦷Over time, the digital technology of X-rays has skyrocketed and has become much more precise, fast, and efficient, which reduces the amount of radiation received. Though radiation is a concern, we take proper precautions, and make sure exposure is as low as possible.
🦷We like to check in with bite wing X-rays once a year, and do an overall view once every 5 years to ensure comprehensive care.
