Dental X-Rays

Are dental X-Rays safe?

Modern dental x-rays are very safe. At Healthy Smile we use only state-of-the-art, digital, low radiation machines. Digital x-rays allow Dr. Ona to view the x-ray immediately without any processing time. It also uses 80% less radiation than traditional x-ray. The amount of radiation you are exposed to over the course of a weekend in some major cities is considered more than the amount in a dental office.

How do they help me?

Dental x-rays allow Dr. Ona to not only check for hidden tooth decay between your teeth, but also cysts, cancerous and non-cancerous tumors, bone levels around teeth, and the health and location of teeth that have not surfaced yet.
