Dental X-Rays can now be
taken using sensors that transmit the image directly into
a computer monitor. This larger image helps the patient understand
the doctor's explanations more easily and enables the doctor
to "zoom in" on a specific area of the tooth. An
important advantage to this new technology is that it reduces
the amount of radiation by 90%. Digital x-rays are also faster.
The digital image only takes a minute or two to appear in
the monitor. In addition, this new technology is friendly
to the environment since no chemicals are needed for developing
the image. |

researchers spent years to develop an injection-free anesthesia
that could be administered prior to vital periodontal procedures
in order to avoid patients’ needle anxieties. Check
