Did You Know?
"Tooth pics" sounds like "toothpicks" - the wooden sticks for cleaning teeth! Dental X-rays were first used in 1896, just months after X-rays were discovered. Modern dental X-rays expose patients to very low levels of radiation. Dentists use X-rays to see problems not visible during a regular exam, like cavities between teeth, bone loss, and impacted teeth. Digital X-rays use up to 80% less radiation than traditional film!
