X-rays taken with a panorex x-ray digital machine differ from other digital x-rays in that it takes a 'panoramic' picture of your teeth. The machine makes an entire half-circle motion that captures an image of your entire mouth. Like digital x-rays, digital panorex x-rays reduce the amount of radiation you are exposed to (unlike standard x-rays) by up to 90 percent. Dr. Szmigiel will determine whether or not a panorex is necessary for your treatment.
