Half of that amount is taken in through organic phenomenon such as cosmic rays, geological formations, and radon in the air. Did you know the body absorbs 40 mrems through food and water consumption? Flying coast-to-coast in America nets you three mrems. And living in a stone, adobe, or brick building adds seven mrem.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A traditional dental X-ray emits one mrem. That&rsquo;s the same amount you receive from watching television. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lehighvalleydentalhealth.com\/about-our-practice.html\" target=\"_self\"><strong>Dr. Salivonchik<\/strong><\/a> only uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lehighvalleydentalhealth.com\/blog\/dr-salivonchik-keeps-allentowns-dental-health-and-overall-health-a-top-priority\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>digital radiography<\/strong><\/a>, which transmits even less mrem than conventional radiographic film. To take a digital X-ray, a small sensor is placed in the patient&rsquo;s mouth, so not only is the process safer, it&rsquo;s also more comfortable. The detailed images allow us to focus on specific areas of concern, and the digital format makes it easy to store and share diagnostic information.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Making Allentown Dental Patients our Priority<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your safety and comfort are important to us, which is why digital X-rays are a standard part of our comprehensive dental services.
