You know that our dental x-rays expose you to less radiation
We always mention that our dental clinic is in a walking distance from "La Garena" Train Station (about 8 minutes Walk with Google Maps) Digital radiography or Computerized X-rays, form part of the high-tech services that we have in our La Garena Dental Clinic in Alcala de Henares as a result of it, we are able to reduce the patient exposure by receiving a 90% less radiation than the traditional radiography.
Digital radiography is taking a great boom in the dental diagnosis, and there are really many advantages among which: less exposure to radiation, a shorter waiting time, a more accurated treatment and a greater respect for the environment by not having to generate waste in the form of Rx images.
Digital radiography is obtained by direct digital image capture which converts x-rays directly to electronic signals. Since no light is used in the conversion, the profile of the signal and resolution are highly accurate emitting an excellent image quality.
For the storage of the digitized radiographic images La Garena Dental Clinic we use phosphor storage, the CCD system is a type of silicon chip with transistors dimensional changes where each element corresponds to one pixel and the storage phosphor radiography takes on a kind of frame or cassette containing a sheet of phosphorus, where the information is saved. Phosphorus is a chemical that absorbs energy from the X-ray as the clock pointers Flourescent absorb sunlight. But this phosphorus does not return this energy immediately. It just appears when a laser beam stimulates it. So, the phosphor sheet releases the absorbed energy as blue light. It releases more where the film has been stimulated; that is to say, where it has received more radiation, and less radiation, where it has been less stimulated.
This chassis is introduced into an appropriate scanner for reading the image, a lens system captures this blue light, the photomultiplier, that is as a CCD digital camera, It amplifies and transforms it into an electrical pulse: and it is already information that will be sent by fiber optic, storing it in the computer.
The collateral benefits of using this digital technology in our dental clinic at Alcalá are the following:
From the point of view of health:
• Low doses of radiation to the patient and operator, up to 90% less intraoral and 60% in skull radiographies.
• Minor amount of contaminating material (Lead, Developer and fixer chemicals)
Under the economical point of view:
• Save image plates and photographic film.
• Savings in buying developers and fixers
• Savings on the purchase and maintenance of plate processing equipment and developing.
As for ergonomics:
• Reduced storage space images
• It facilitates the creation of digital files
• A reduced need for space and installation
It facilitates the diagnosis and the delivery of results:
• High contrast digital images facilitates the imaging diagnosis by the radiologist or the person in charge of doing it.
• It allows sending of results and images files via the Internet with amazing speed, which could reach the difference between life and death of a patient.
• It facilitates the interconsultation among professionals.
• It optimizes the patient communication
Even the environment benefits from these improvements which it involves incorporating the digital radiography and thanks to this digital technology, we can remove the chemical contamination by eliminating the use of the support used in traditional radiography.

For example, in newborns or babies, low protein intake may delay the onset of teeth. Besides through the years of practise, as adults if we do not consume the necessary proteins we can find cavities. We must remember that to strengthen our teeth need to consume products high in calcium and vitamin D and fluoride. In the specific case of fluorine, this is the one responsible to harden the enamel of our teeth.
If we focus on toothaches, The first advice if you feel an inflammation of the wheel, It should be immediately go to the dentist so you can save the inflamed tooth through a technique called Pulpotomy. In the event that no longer has anything to do because the root of the tooth has been affected, it is best to remove tooth. The best practice to prevent swelling of a tooth is to put an ice bag during the first symptoms of pain, in addition to mouthwash.
