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.

However, with so many steps involved in capturing a single image, there are many opportunities for a mistake to happen.

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.
