the right dental team to
choose for the long term
We recommend Bitewings (small xrays taken to show between teeth and under fillings) to be taken
once every 2 years in order to detect areas that are difficult or impossible to see visually in the
mouth. If there are areas of greater concern then we may choose to take an xray for a specific
tooth so that we may see the entire root of the tooth. If there are several areas of concern such
as wisdom teeth in the four parts of the jaw, then an OPG (panaromic xray which shows all teeth)
will be more suitable.
The Smile Team uses the latest advanced computerized technology in taking digital x-rays to minimize the radiation to about 70% less than that of traditional x-rays.
The radiation from each individual Bitewing x-ray is equivalent to the same amount of radiation each and everyone of us receives from one day of natural background radiation (extremely tiny). Despite this, our entire team is dedicated to limiting the amount of radiation every patient receives at our dental practice.
