X-Ray Radiation

We are exposed to radiation everyday from various sources, such as airplane travel, walking in the sun, minerals in the soil and appliances in our homes. According to the American Dental Association's calculation of radiation exposure, patients are not getting too much radiation from check up x-rays once a year and a set of full mouth X-ray every three to five years.

Digital Photography

Anna Lee, D.D.S. uses digital radiography.  Unlike the traditional radiography, which takes about five minutes to develop and mount the x-rays, the digital radiography gives an instant image of the tooth on the computer monitor. Digital radiography gives you a number of advantages. For example, there is an immediate image for viewing and it is eco-friendly, reducing radiation by 70-80%.

We are also using a intraoral camera which takes pictures of the tooth instantly. This allows for us to instantly see a photo on the computer monitor. Basically, see what my staff and I see. Both the digital radiography and intraoral camera are excellent diagnostic and educational information to enhance patient understanding of their oral condition.
