If you've ever had a dental X-ray, you surely remember being given a lead apron. However, that practice is becoming a thing of the past thanks to technological advancements in modern dentistry.
📌 According to the American College of Radiology (ACR), it is no longer necessary to use lead shields in routine exams today. The reason? Radiation has been reduced by more than 95% since the 1950s thanks to digitalization.
What has changed in dental X-rays?
Innovation has transformed how these studies are performed:
- 🦷 Digital X-rays with minimal radiation: New equipment emits extremely low doses, safe even for children.
- 🧠 Reliable scientific evidence: Recent studies have shown that the radiation used in dentistry does not cause harm to health.
- ✅ Improved diagnostic quality: Far from protecting, the lead apron can interfere with image quality and necessitate repeating the shot, increasing patient discomfort.

- Guarantees accurate and fast diagnoses.
- Offers a more comfortable experience without unnecessary fears.
