The Benefits of Digital X-Rays
A recent study
published in The Journal of the American Medical Association
reported that women who have non-digital dental X-rays while pregnant
may be at higher risk of having babies with low birth weights.
At Dr. Sun's, we use only digital X-rays which produce better
results with much lower exposure. The study found no
risk for exposure at the levels used for digital X-Rays.
We offer three
digital systems: intraoral, panographs & cephalometrics, which
have 50-90% less radiation than conventional film-based x-rays.
The images appear instantaneously on the computer monitor allowing
Dr. Sun to immediately review the images and discuss treatment options
with you.
