Digital Radiographs are one of the newest X-ray techniques around. Because it is so new some dentists may not have it yet; but watch for this process to become standard in the future. With digital radiographs, film is replaced with a flat electronic pad or sensor. The X-rays hit the pad the same way they hit the film. But instead of developing the film in a dark room, the image is electronically sent directly to a computer where the image appears on the screen. The image can then be stored on the computer or printed out. One of the great advantages of this process is that radiographs can be emailed to other dentists and the quality of the radiograph is much higher than traditional x-rays.  Also digital radiographs eliminate toxic chemicals used by old x-rays. Digital x-rays reduce radiation by as much as 80 percent.
