You don’t have to do a major overhaul on every piece of equipment in your office in order to make good use of a digital dental x-ray machine. These kinds of x-ray machines are useful all on their own or they can be used as base for the rest of your digital dental equipment. It also isn’t necessary to decide right away if you want to go all digital either. It’s very easy, as well as cost effective, to piece together more modern medical equipment if you like. There is no problem with having stellar, new technology for x-rays and keeping your old way of doing things if that works out better for you. Are there any safety concerns to worry about with a digital dental x-ray? You have likely already heard or read about the many advantages to having a digital dental x-ray machine in your medical office. You will also be pleased to learn that these machines use less radiation than traditional models. That is very good news for you, your staff, and your patients. Of course, you will still want to follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions in terms of safety procedures, but overall lower radiation is a good thing. It’s also a wonderful selling point when you are describing the machine to your patients.
