How Kamkar Family & Gentle Dentistry Reduces Radiation Exposure From Patient X-rays
Film X-rays have been used in dentistry for decades. In the past few years, many forward-thinking dentists like Dr. Paymon have invested in digital X-ray technology. Film X-rays cost a bit less than digital X-rays but the long term exposure to film X-rays can be very harmful to a patient’s overall health. Our digital X-ray uses as much as 85% less radiation than traditional X-ray technology.
Why Kamkar Family & Gentle Dentistry Invested in Digital X-ray Technology
Digital X-rays are one of the most important new advances in our office. We are not only able to reduce your exposure to radiation but also increase diagnostic proficiency, we reduce the amount of harmful chemicals and other waste materials associated with traditional X-ray technology. The reduction in waste was a big consideration in our decision to invest in digital technology. We pride ourselves on being environmentally responsible.
