Digital X-Rays
While dentists cannot treat what they cannot see, digital x-rays help with being able to view things clinically that our eyes cannot see. With the help of digital x-rays, they can help dentists gain more early diagnosis. Digital radiography is essential in playing a role in preventive dental care. They help with finding small issues before they get out of hand, such as tooth decay, loss of bone, cyst, and help to see in between teeth. The list can go on with other oral health issues, which is why x-rays are a vital tool to use during dental exams. Digital x-rays help show dentists a tooth image right away. Being able to detect tooth issues early to help diagnose a safe dental treatment much faster and safer with digital technology. X-rays should be held with the same importance as your dental cleaning.

Implementing Digital Technology
The first step to enhancing your clinical care is to include digital technology into your practice. Including the use of digital x-ray sensors, intraoral cameras, and digital impression scanners will enhance the dental and dental hygiene process. This imaging technology will help aid in decisions for diagnosis of dental issues by showing a high-resolution image that can be shown digitally between team members, patients, and be sent virtually to insurance companies.
Also, scanners and intraoral cameras allow for dentists to make documentation of patient hard tissue data. Images from these tools help with the demonstration of oral health issues. Patients benefit from being able to see images of these issues. These issues include fractured teeth, calculus, and deteriorating restorations, etc. These tools will help increase patient education, helping them understand the problem. Having this technology will help improve informed decision making by the patient, which helps gain procedure acceptance. Overall, these technologies help patients understand their oral cavity issues by the demonstration of digital imaging to give optimal care.
