Fort Myers, Fl Dentist Improves Patient Care With New Office Technology
"Digital x-rays offer decreased radiation exposure, if any at all. Because many diseases of the teeth and surrounding tissues cannot be seen by the naked eye when examining a patient's mouth, digital x-rays can help reveal an array of problems including infections in the bone, gum disease, and more," said Dr. Angela Harney, Fort Myers dentist.
Digital dental x-rays are pictures of the teeth, bones, and soft tissues around them to help find problems with the teeth, mouth, and jaw. Dr. Angela Harney, dentist in Fort Myers, is pleased to offer digital x-rays, which utilize a small sensor unit to send pictures to a computer to be recorded and saved. Digital x-rays can show cavities, hidden dental structures, and bone loss that cannot be seen during a visual examination. They may also be done as a follow-up after dental treatments.
With this recent advancement in dentistry, Dr. Harney, dentist in Fort Myers, FL, can now offer safer dental care with decreased radiation exposure and increased results. Many people require x-rays on a regular basis so that their dental condition can be monitored closely. Exactly how often this happens will depend on a patient's medical and dental history and current condition.
Some patients may need x-rays as often as every six months, while others may only need x-rays every couple years. In patients with no recent dental or gum disease, and who visit Dr. Angela Harney, Fort Myers family dentist, regularly for check-ups, x-rays may be taken only every five years or so.
Dr. Angela Harney, sedation dentist in Fort Myers, continues to provide quality dental care for her community. With the use of digital panoramic x-rays, Dr. Harney can further ensure accuracy and proper diagnosis when examining her patients' teeth.
