How much radiation exposure do I actually receive from x-rays?
While under the care of Dr. Scherb and our team, your health, safety and peace of mind are our primary concerns. We do our best to minimize your exposure to x-rays, and require them only when they are completely necessary. Our new state of the art, Dexis digital x-ray system allows for immediate diagnosis, and eliminates up to 90% of the radiation that conventional x-ray machines release. The image also appears instantly on the computer screen eliminating the need for processing the film in environmentally unsafe chemicals. This enables us to check your x-rays immediately while you’re still in the dental chair.
