Digital X-Ray FAQs
What are digital dental X-rays?
Digital X-rays use advanced sensors to capture high-quality images of your teeth and jaw with significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays.
Are digital X-rays safe?
Yes. Digital X-rays emit very low radiation – up to 90% less than older methods. Protective shields and modern equipment make the process extremely safe for all ages.
Why do I need dental X-rays?
X-rays allow Dr. Zhu to detect issues that aren’t visible during a standard exam, such as cavities between teeth, bone loss, infections, and the position of unerupted or impacted teeth.
How often should I have digital X-rays taken?
The frequency depends on your oral health. Most patients need X-rays annually, while those with a history of decay, gum disease, or ongoing dental concerns may need them more often.
Do digital X-rays hurt?
No. Taking X-rays is a quick and comfortable process. The small sensor is placed gently in your mouth, and the image is captured in seconds.
