Other Consideration
We still protect our patients from radiation exposure even though the digital X-ray produces much less radiation than the traditional X-rays of the past. Our patients are asked to wear the lead apron as an added precaution. Patients who are pregnant or breast feeding should also take extra care while around this room, so make sure to tell the dentist before your X-rays are taken. We want to protect all of our patients from radiation exposure, no matter how small.
