How Do You See Your Teeth? (Part 3 of 4)

“Look At Your Teeth” Family Dentistry Newburgh, Indiana

Family Dentistry in Newburgh, Indiana is anxious for you to look at your teeth.  As we continue to discuss digital dental x-ray and the benefits of digital versus the film x-ray, the ability to share digital dental x-rays is a huge benefit.  When patients must visit a specialist such as a endodontist, oral surgeon or a periodontist,  the referring dentist is able to send the digital x-ray immediately via email so that the specialist  is aware of the issues that the patient is experiencing.  Having the ability to share the x-ray allows for the patient to have care tended to them quickly instead of waiting for the film to arrive in the mail.   The receiving dentist is able to receive these x-rays with their computer, ipad or even a smart phone.  Many teeth issues can occur when out of town.  Having a tooth issue when on vacation allows for the regular dentist to send the x-ray quickly to the dentist who is trying to assist the patient and can provide a treatment plan that is necessary to free them of pain or cosmetically assist the patient so that they can smile again while on vacation.  Drs. Ogle, Schmitz, and Hart continue to have the patients needs first priority so digital dental x-ray is truly a benefit to the patients.
