A Quick Word on TSA Security Scanning

With all the controversy about TSA's new airport security scanning and the potential radiation that's caused by the invasive x-rays, I'd like to examine the awful truth that there are many dentists who are still using dated equipment that causes radiation when you're simply checking for cavities! With the advances in technology in the medical field, it's important to take note of what types of modern equipment offer safer ways to keep your health in check. In my office, we're currently using the most state of the art equipment, which is taking digital x-rays. Taking digital x-rays offers 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays. It is the safest possible way to examine the health of your teeth.
