If you’re considering a career in the dental field or looking to expand your qualifications, obtaining a dental X-ray certification is a smart and rewarding step. Both dental assistants and dental hygienists are commonly involved in taking X-rays, though their roles differ; assistants typically support the dentist during procedures and may take X-rays under supervision, while hygienists often perform X-rays as part of routine patient care with greater autonomy. Earning certification not only enhances your skill set but also opens the door to more responsibilities and better job opportunities. Here’s […]

Dental X-rays are a critical diagnostic tool in modern dentistry, helping professionals detect issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye. But not all X-rays are created equal.

Let’s break down the differences to help you better understand which imaging type suits which clinical need. What Are Intraoral X-Rays? Intraoral X-rays are taken from inside the mouth.

Fortunately, there are some options that can simplify payment collection for both patients and office staff. Here are a few methods to incorporate within your practice to increase […]

A dental practice operates like any business: your office needs a mixture of new and returning patients to grow.

Returning patients spend 67% more on average than new ones because they trust your dental care and want to take advantage of your services. These patients are also more likely to schedule regular appointments for cleanings and x-rays, […]

Dental imaging equipment is essential for a thorough oral examination and to help with the diagnosis of tooth, mouth, or jaw conditions. The American Dental Association (ADA) explains that imaging systems, such as x-rays, "provide your dentist with a more complete view of what’s happening in your mouth." Today’s imaging can see inside both hard and soft tissues, meaning it can spot tooth decay and misalignment, diseases of the bone, and problems in the gums, tongue, tendons, and muscles in your mouth. In the past, dentists used standard analog x-ray […]

Dental technology developed slowly over the centuries. The first prototype of a toothbrush was created in 1770, with today’s mass-produced nylon brushes not hitting the market until 1938. Meanwhile, modern dental implants only date back to the 1960s. After centuries of incremental improvements, digital dentistry has led to drastic changes over the past 20 years. 3D printers and computer-aided design (CAD) allow manufacturers to create perfectly-sized implants and corrective equipment. Digital scanners and handheld intraoral cameras improve diagnostic capabilities. Advances in augmented reality help dental students hone their skills. All […]
