There’s more to providing great patient care than just having high-quality dental equipment in your office. You must also take the time to care for and maintain your equipment. By remaining proactive about dental X-ray machine maintenance, you can avoid costly repairs that also limit your ability to diagnose or complete dental treatment for your patients. What does it take to keep your equipment in top working order? Take a look below.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) protocols have long been established for traditional film dental X-ray machines. Now that most of those machines are being replaced by digital and CBCT units, states must update their guidelines. Although some states have already implemented these new guidelines, others have not. This article provides a brief overview of QA/QC programs as well as a look at some of the common state-mandated components of a successful QA/QC program.

Is it time to replace or upgrade your existing dental X-ray machine, or are you building a new general dental or dental specialty office and want to add an X-ray machine? Either way, here are some important things to consider when planning your space and selecting the correct dental X-ray machine to ensure the best (and safest) patient experience.

The latest advancements in technology and commoditization of digital and cone beam X-ray technology have allowed for dental and dental specialty practices to upgrade from film to digital dental X-ray machines at faster rates than ever before.

This is great news for dental practitioners who are able to more effectively and efficiently treat their patients as well as add more procedures to their list of available services. This all can lead to healthier patients and a healthier bottom line for the dental practice, as well.
