As such, most states throughout the United States require that dental and dental specialty practices register their facilities and dental X-ray equipment through their state Department of Health or X-ray Programs. X-ray registration helps states maintain and protect the health and safety of the practice staff and patients through initial approvals (if required) and routine periodic inspections of the X-ray equipment. If practices fail to register their facilities and/or their X-ray machines, then states cannot properly ensure the safety of its constituents. Failure to register X-ray facilities and devices with the state in a timely manner can result in serious violations and civil penalties for the doctor and the practice. ![Team Renew](https://learn.renewdigital.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Renew_Digital_.Circle.png?width=45&name=Renew_Digital_.Circle.png) [Team Renew](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/author/team-renew) [Read More](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/registering-your-dental-x-ray-machine) ![Panorex X-Ray machine requirements](https://learn.renewdigital.com/hubfs/EVALUATING%20REQUIREMENTS%20FOR%20A%20PANOREX%20X-RAY%20MACHINE.png) [PANORAMIC,](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/panoramic) [IMPLANTS,](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/implants) [ORAL SURGERY,](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/oral-surgery) [SLEEP,](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/sleep) [ORTHODONTICS,](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/orthodontics) [GENERAL DENTISTRY,](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/general-dentistry) [ENDODONTICS](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/endodontics) ### [Evaluating the Requirements for a Panorex X-ray Machine](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/evaluating-the-requirements-for-a-panorex-x-ray-machine) June 29, 2022 Most dental practices rely on their  [**panorex X-ray machine**](https://www.renewdigital.com/panoramic) in order to provide a high level of patient care, help diagnose dental conditions and prepare for future treatment planning.

It is typically used to capture images of the teeth, jaw bone, soft tissues, and nasal and sinus passages. Since most orthodontic patients are children and teenagers, the amount of radiation they are exposed during treatment is often questioned by parents and public health officials. It’s important to understand the risks of radiation exposure and how to minimize them while still providing high-quality care. ![Team Renew](https://learn.renewdigital.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Renew_Digital_.Circle.png?width=45&name=Renew_Digital_.Circle.png) [Team Renew](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/author/team-renew) [Read More](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/ceph-x-rays-managing-the-risks-of-radiation-exposure) ![dental x-ray machine inspection](https://learn.renewdigital.com/hubfs/PREPARING%20FOR%20A%20DENTAL%20X-RAY%20MACHINE%20INSPECTION.png) [PANORAMIC,](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/panoramic) [PAN/CEPH,](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/pan-ceph) [CBCT,](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/cbct) [IMPLANTS,](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/implants) [ORAL SURGERY,](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/oral-surgery) [SLEEP,](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/sleep) [ORTHODONTICS,](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/orthodontics) [GENERAL DENTISTRY,](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/general-dentistry) [ENDODONTICS](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/tag/endodontics) ### [Preparing for a Dental X-ray Machine Inspection](https://learn.renewdigital.com/blog/preparing-for-a-dental-x-ray-machine-inspection) April 29, 2022 Depending on what state you live in, preparing for a dental X-ray machine inspection can be a stressful event.
