Digital x-rays are quickly becoming adopted by a large percentage of the dental industry. A digital x-ray allows the dentist to take an image of the tooth or teeth and put it into an imaging program. Within this imaging program, there are a number of tools that will allow the dentist to take a very close look at the teeth and surrounding structures with amazing accuracy. An additional advantage to the patient is the digital technology allows the picture to be taken with the minimum amount of radiation when compared to almost any other x-ray photo.
