As a provider of dental care, you will handle a wide range of cases that require different procedures. One of the first steps in common in dental diagnostics is the dental x-ray that allows the dentist to look deeper into the cause of the problem. Radiographs, better known as x-rays, are a very common tool used to determine the best course of treatment for dental patients.
3 Reasons Staff Needs to Be Educated about Dental X-rays
Everyone working with patients in a dentist’s office needs to understand the components of x-ray film exposure and processing. By proper x-ray imaging, you will improve the level of care provided to your patients and increased safety amongst employees and patients. There are many benefits to using dental x-rays, including:
- The ability to identify a new issue before it grows into something major that can be painful or otherwise harmful to the patient.
- The ability to look beyond the surface to find the real cause of discomfort and diagnose dental problems.
- It is the only way to identify some diseases and infections that are not visible to the naked eye.
