Radiation worries are now on everyone's mind.

Dear All, I have been letting you know about our minimal radiation exposure dental x-ray system somewhat regularly but it bears repeating in light of the disaster in Japan. There is no level of radiation which is desirable. However, until we have a better way of checking for your health or lack of it in regard to medicine or dentistry we are stuck with it.

Our phosphor sensor plate system requires the least exposure to radiation of any x-ray system available. It actually requires 33% of the radiation which other electronic sensor systems need to produce a good image.

I actually had to replace one of our x-ray machines when we bought this system for you and our office. There was no way to set the old machine to a low enough exposure to get a good image.

Please do a Google search if you would like. You will find there isn't a more sensitive system available than what we have for you at Smiles of Skokie.

Your health is our primary concern. We are interested in keeping you as healthy as possible dentally and medically.

We thank all of you for letting us help you as members of our 'dental family' at Smiles of Skokie!
