Images produced on the computer monitors that are part of the digital x-ray system can be viewed by both the dentist and his patient, allowing for a more clear and precise understanding of a problem area and the recommended treatment plan. The technology drastically reduces the amount of radiation exposure to patients.<\/p>\n<p>An intraoral camera is a device that dentists use to get a close up view of the entire oral cavity. The small device scans the mouth with an intense light that is able to magnify the image of a tooth or a part of the gum tissue that may be suspect for disease.<\/p>\n<p>Regular professional care along with good home habits should keep your family on the right path to maintaining good oral health.
