What is digital dental X-ray?

Digital dental X-rays are a modern form of radiography used in dentistry. They replace traditional photographic X-ray film with digital sensors, producing images that can be instantly viewed and manipulated on a computer screen. This technology reduces radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays, allows for image enhancement and easier storage, and facilitates sharing of images with other dental professionals. They are commonly used for diagnosing dental problems such as cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth.
