Digital X-Rays
 Digital x-rays (radiographs) are a primary tool for early identification of dental problems. Detecting issues with x-rays before they become problems can save you money in the long run by preventing the need for more extensive, expensive procedures or surgeries. X-rays are primarily used to detect:
| • |
Internal tooth decay
|
| • |
Cysts (fluid filled sacks at the base of your teeth)
|
| • |
Tumors, both cancerous and non-cancerous
|
| • |
Impacted teeth
|
| • |
Teeth that are still coming in |
At Evergreen Dentistry, our dental team uses digital x-rays which have several advantages over traditional film based x-rays. They emit up to 90% less radiation, are ready for examination nearly instantly, can be viewed by the patient and dentist on a computer screen, and they are greener; no chemicals are needed for processing. |
