X-Ray At Our Biological Dentistry

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> At our <a href="https://thejunction.dentist/complete-health-dentistry/" class="rank-math-link"><strong>Ontario wholistic dental clinic</strong></a>, many of our patients may wonder if X-Rays must be done, or whether they are harmful due to radiation exposure. In the world of dentistry, X-Rays are extremely important to help detect and treat dental issues in the early stages. For example, only through an X-Ray can we detect the beginning stages of bone-loss, tooth decay and infections that are hidden below the gum-line and not seen by the naked eye.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Even though the amount of radiation emitted from X-rays is extremely small, at Junction Family Dental we take several steps to ensure the maximum safety of our patients during X-Ray examinations. There is a principle called ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) coined in dental radiography that we use to ensure radiation exposure is kept as far below the limit as possible. Advances in dentistry now also limit the radiation beam to a small area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:quote --> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>At our <a href="https://thejunction.dentist/general-dentistry/" class="rank-math-link"><strong>Ontario biological dental clinic</strong></a>, we have a patient who is hyper-sensitive to radiation.
